i get to stage 9 and get : 'The specified data directory is not empty.
If you have an existing database with the same major version number, you need to initialize a database cluster.
If you have an existing database with a different major version you need to back up your old database and create a new one.'

any ideas how to proceed??

This means that you had Postgresql previously installed.
If you don't want to use the old data navigate to the folder c:\program files\postgresql\8.3 or sth. similar on your computer and delete the subfolder data.

Then start the installation again.
