Re: BUG #15996: Unable to install any PosgresSQL version

Hi,

A couple of people have reported the same issue on Windows 10 a few days
ago. Here
<https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CANFyU97Cogh%2Bek8pV%3Do7bpsu3xBeQ16GTC8V8kWyCnRhW-%2Bj2w%40mail.gmail.com>
is the link to that thread which also includes the link to the test
installer. One of the users has informed that it resolved the issue for
him. Could you also try installing that and confirm? Please ignore the
pop-up messages which are included in the installer for debugging purpose.

Thanks.
