I realize that this is a feature and not a bug, but what I ran into
confronting the same issue was the fact that the servers listen on
different ports and when I uninstalled the older version, the newer
version was listening on a non-standard port. This caused some
confusion for awhile.
I also realize that having both versions on the same port may be both
impossible and unwise or some power of both, but is there a standard
port that they are "competing" for in some dark server hell.

The one-click installers are designed in such a way that you can
have different major versions of postgresql co-exist on the same
machine. Thats the reason, the 8.4.1 installer doesn't realize that
8.3 is even installed.

Hi,
We have tried this at least with Windows 2008 64-bit server and the
problem
is very reproducible (multiple systems):
1. Install 8.3 on some non-C drive (say E:\)
2. Run the 8.4.1 installer to upgrade this install
it appears that the 8.4.1 doesn't realize 8.3 is even installed
Result: Installation fails with a permission problem. It seems
certain files
from 8.3 are not able to be deleted. When I manually try to delete
them,
even with the Administrator user, it fails. I ultimately needed to
take
ownership and then give Full Control before I was allowed to delete
them.
There is no problem with this upgrade on the C:\ drive.
Thanks
