wine users - Aug 2010 - Postgresql 8.0 installation

I m trying to install Postgresql on ZORIN 3.0, an Ubuntu based distro running
WINE 1.1.42. When I start setup, after language selection, it gives the error
"Failed to create process: 2!".
Please guide me on how to solve this problem.

Obvious first questions: 
- Is this Linux native PostgreSQL or are you trying to run it 
  under wine? 
- If the latter, why aren't you running the native version?
- Why run a version as old as 8.0 when the current version for 
  Fedora 12 is 8.3.8?

Second: what's in the PostgreSQL log? It is in the directory where
you're running PostgreSQL and is called  pg_log/postgresql-xxx.log where
'xxx' is the day of the week when the log was created, so my log today
is called pg_log/postgresql-Mon.log

The PostgeSQL i am trying to run is a Windows Installer. The problem is that our
old developed application is in PowerBuilder (I m still confirming version from
the operators) with back end database PostgeSQL 8.
I want my people to get rid of silly viruses. Thats why I want to change the
whole thing to Wine rather than having a new development.

Thanks Martin, for a detailed reply. In such a situation i need to test the
complete software manually since the coder is no longer in contact. I will 
install native postgresSQL on Linux and try to run Power Builder application
inside WINE.
Thanks again for your nice support.
