I recently uninstalled 8.3.1 and I deleted the remaining files not removed
from the uninstaller. I then proceed to install 8.3.1 again using same user
info as before. The installer proceeded to install until the creation of the
user and it says "user postgres already exists" and then rollbacked the
install. If I install using different username like postgres1 then
everything's fine. Maybe this is not a bug but there is a file i am suppose
to remove but missed?
start -> run -> compmgt.msc
in Computer Management, system tools -> local users and groups -> Users,
find 'postgres' and delete it.
also delete the directories and contents in "C:\Documents and
Settings\postgres" and/or "C:\Documents and
Settings\postgres.MACHINENAME" (these are the account profile
directories, and when the user 'postgres' gets recreated, they will have
the wrong ownership).
