I'm installing PostgreSQL 8.3.7(postgresql-8.3.7-1-windows) client on my windows machine. But got an error saying
"Problem running post-install set up.Installation may not complete correctly Error readinf file C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.3/data/postgresql.conf"

Could someone help me?.

Hello nakata,
I think you entered short password. Try more characters in your password.

Hi ghjk,
Thank you for answering, but I try enter more characters, still have the same problem.
In the beginning I removed old version and intstall postgresql-8.3.7-1. When installing it ask me to enter password, I don't know if the problem is relate to the old version or not.
