During the final stages of the installation I get this error message:
Failed to run initdb: 1!
and the logfile says this:

The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect.

I run windows vista and I have tried the suggestions I've found, but they don't help.

The problem is fixed in the latest postgresql version (8.3.4-1). HM page links to an older version.

Also you need the Visual C++ Redistribution package installed.
