Joshua,

     Thanks for reply. But I tried 8.4.4 and it still doesn't work with local administrator account on windows 2003 . I don't want to create additional "postgres" user to start service on windows rather I want to use my currently logged in user. User can be administrator or non-administrator.

See --serviceaccount and --servicepassword CLI options to the installer, you can provide any existing user with its corresponding password as the postgres service owner.

I am getting an "error code 5" in event viewer when I try to use administrator as service user.Before attempting that I used initdb to create 

Data directory with same user

Thanks & Regards,

Vikram

Hello Folks,

   I am facing an issue starting postgresql using windows service when

my user belongs to Administrator group.

   I applied patch from following thread to 8.4.1 source code and it

seems to be working with every windows operating system except Windows

2003 .

There is a reason the community provides binary packages. The idea that

you are patching 8.4.1 is quite ridiculous. Upgrade to 8.4.4.

Sincerely,
