Were you running PT3 at the time you tried to install? If so, close PT3 first and then run the install again.
If not, then I'm thinking your two options are:
1) Install PostgreSQL by itself
2) Uninstall and reinstall PT3 (the package including PostgreSQL)
I would suggest the 2nd option.
I see a lot of posts about people getting confused over what PGSQL is or whether or not it's needed. I wonder if they could just make it all a single install package that checks if PGSQL is already installed, and then installs it if it isn't. The whole setup is a bit different from PT2 because with PT2 that's all you needed, but now with PT3 you need PT3 plus a DBMS.
I think it's a good rule of thumb that if someone doesn't know what PostgreSQL is, then it's almost guaranteed that they don't have it installed, and therefore need to get the installer that comes with PGSQL. I think it wouldn't be a bad to put that on the download page so that new users don't get too confused over the different download options.
