Sachin, I was using the windows user the postgres installer created to register the service. That failed. I thought I will try a admin user and I was able to register the service. Then I ran all the failed vb scripts in the installer which was listed in the install-postgresql.log file: startupcfg.vbs, createshortcuts.vbs, startserver.vbs, loadmodules.vbs. But I changed the user for the startupcfg.vbs to one of the admin users. After doing all these hacks it looks like postgres is installed fine. I was wondering why the user created by postgres was not able to register the service? Anybody else installing postgres 8.4 on windows 2003 server have this issue? I really appreciate any help.
