The following bug has been logged online:
Bug reference: 3930
Logged by: Markus Eisenmann
Email address: markus(dot)eisenmann(at)gmx(dot)at
PostgreSQL version: 8.3.0
Operating system: Windows XP SP2 - german
Description: initdb failed - "postgres" not found
Details:
After a successful installation, I want to initialize
a new db-cluster using initdb.
I've got following message:
The program "postgres" is needed by initdb but was not found in the same
directory as "C:\Programme\PostgreSQL\8.3\bin/initdb".
Check your installation.
The file postgres.exe (3.661.824 Byte) is allready there and would be
executable ...
Grretings from Austria!

Are you logged in as 'the' Adminstrator account? If so, please try
running the installation from a user account that has administrative
privileges, but isn't 'the Administrator'.
