1) The secondary logon service is a standard windows service which is available on every windows computer and is required to be running to install PostgreSQL. In the latest versions it is not started automatically. You need to start it via control panel > administrative tools > services. Starting it once should insure it works in the future also.
2) Your Windows account MUST be named using English letters only
3) The same with PC name
4) Make sure UAC is disabled

5) Installer must run "As administrator" (right click on it and select)

6) every time when you fail to install Postgre, you have to uninstall it completely. This means: after standard uninstall do this:

Go to Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt > Right-Click > Run As Administrator

In the window that appears please type the following and press enter:

net user postgres /delete

exactly as shown
You should get a confirmation if it was successful.
