Here's additional information from the log file surrounding the problem with initdb failing:

Presumably this is the problem.

If no-one seems to know here, perhaps try the windows installer project. They will be able to tell you what can cause this error.

I just installed PostgreSQL 8.0 with the "service" registration option disabled and tried to execute the following and it fails with the same error.

runas.exe /env /user:DA15666\postgres "C:\PostgreSQL\8.0\bin\initdb.exe -D C:\PostgreSQL\8.0\data"

So the problem is not with the installer but either with initdb or how my system is configured. Help?
