I get these error messages as it is close to finishing installation:

failed to create temporary directory

rolling back action

installation ended prematurely because of an error

I have disabled user account control. Anyone got any ideas or can point me to the right thread?

1. Go to Computer and rightclick your harddrive -> properties click on clean and let windows delete every temporary folder on your computer.
2. go to C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3 and delete a folder called "tmp" If you dont see it, just skip this step.
3. Try to install again

I tried disabling the firewall and using the one click installation program.

It says

Problem running post-install step. Installtion may not complete correctly
The database cluster initialisation failed.

Deleting the temp files didnt work either
