PostgreSQL version: 8.3.1-1
Operating system:   Windows XP Fundamentals for Legacy Pc`s SP3

Wow, really?

I'm not at all sure PostgreSQL has been tested on that. It's hard to get hold of copies, for one thing. I don't know what Microsoft cut out for XP Fundamentals, but I wouldn't be too surprised if it broke PostgreSQL since Pg relies on proper, working service accounts and the like.

Another person reported the same issue with a version of Windows Embedded:

... which further suggests that it might be problems caused by a limited Windows version. Try digging through these search results to see if you find anything useful:

http://www.google.com.au/search?q=%22The+system+cannot+find+the+file+specified%22+site%3Apostgresql.org

It'd be nice to know why this happens, since it might be easy to work around and get Pg working on these versions of Windows. It's hard to know what's going on, though.

It'd be helpful if you could provide a process monitor log (in native process monitor format) of the installation process, since that might shed some light.
