PosgreSQL instalation problem

[SpTB]

Hi
I cannot install the postgreSQL file. I've followed all the instructions mentioned in the FAQ and every time the installation is about to finish it is canceled due to that "postgres user account already exists". I cannot find it anywhere on my computer though. I would appreciate your help on this matter

It sounds like you had it installed at one point.
You must *fully* remove PostgreSQL if you want to install it again.

-Please go to: start > control panel > add/remove programs > make sure that you dont see any PostgreSQL 8.x.

-Then go to: start > my computer > C:\Program Files > and make sure you don't see a folder named \PostgreSQL\, if you do, delete it.

-Next : start > run > cmd

net user postgres /delete

-Make sure UAC is off if you have Vista and Reboot

-Try installing again.
