PostgreSQL version: 8.2.4.1
Operating system: Windows Vista Home Basic Edition
Description: Postgres Installer does not work
Details:
I tried to install postgres on Windows Vista Home Basic. It gave me two
problems :-
1) The UAC (User Access Control) of Windows Vista was blocking the installer
from creating a user account by the name "postgres"
Hmmm.... Last time I tried (8.2.4) I had no problems installing on Vista
Basic once I disabled UAC.
See if the following whitepaper helps:

2) I some how managed to disable the UAC, and was the installer was able to
create the user account for postgres. But the installer halted at one point
and the installation could not be proceeded.
Try:
1) Disabling UAC
2) Rebooting
3) If it says it is installed, remove it through the controll panel
4) Remove the C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.2 directory
5) Try again.
Note that win32 and general are probably better lists for this sort of
issue to start on.
Best WIshes,

choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
