Which is a problem in it's own right anyway. To properly write events to the event log we need to register PostgreSQL as an event source and specify a message DLL to use. As Magnus & I discussed the other day, in our case we probably just want a single message of %s in the dll to allow PostgreSQL to log anything it wants cleanly. Anyway, the point is that to do that you need to write to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\<Appname> (off the top of my head) otherwise, the messages logged in the event log are pretty unreadable. Service installation will also require admin privileges.
