Hello,
I'm getting 'service user account 'postgres' could not be created'
when using the postgresql-8.4.2-1 one-click installer (i also get the
same error with a new version of postgresql 8.4.8-1)
So i know in the past (version 8.3.x) there were problems with
Windows Server 2008 R2 running Active Directory and postgresql around
this same error. I'm running into exactly the same errors as described
here:

After I get the error i cancel out of the installation, make sure
there's no postgresql install, make sure there's no postgresql service
running, blow away postgres user, make sure there is nothing in the
registry and reboot.
I try to reinstall again and run into the same problem.
