Description: pg_autovacuum fails when creating as a windows service
Details:

I'm installing pg_autovacuum as a windows service. The windows user account
used is a local one and it has admin privileges:

pg_autovacuum -I -N winuser -W pwdwinuser -U pguser -P pwdpguser

and I get:

ERROR: The account name is invalid or does not exist, or the password is
invalid for the account name specified.

I've tried with different admin users but the answer is always the same.

Any ideas?

If I execute pg_autovacuum as standalone, all works fine.
