It works - thanks!

I did delete the 8.4 directory, but not the base "PostgreSQL" directory. I tried deleting them all now, and it still crashes.

As I said before, trying with a completely different install path did not work either.

Here's a BitRock installer logfile (there was an install-postgresql, but that was from the previous installation.)

I'm using the latest installer from your website (postgresql-8.4.2-1-windows.exe). After entering the port postgres should run on, it crashes. I've tried different installation directories and using a different port, but the problem persists.

Here's the crash data:

I've had a previous installation on this computer, but I've removed the old postgres user and data directory contents.
