OK. A quick update.

I managed to get DHIS+Postgres installed on a "clean" system, meaning
one without a Postgres user or previous install Postgres instance.
This is good, as this may be 90% of the cases we will encounter for a
first time install, but it is only part of the problem.

On a system with the postgres user already there, I do not know how to
get the password  in order to start the windows service, where the
password needs to be set when the service is installed.

 This is not a big deal if you can start the postgres DB from the
command line, but will users know to do this and-or can DHIS start it
if it is not started. So, it will install a new instance of postgres,
but, the service cannot be started, as the password is not correct.
Hmm..maybe there are some bright ideas out there. Perhaps we can set
it to the system account?

So basically, I can release tomorrow for testing an installer that
will install on system without a postgres user. I tried to install
Postgres as a different user by creating a different user account, but
the installer did not manage to create it. Will need some more work
here.

Let me know what you think.
