[postgis-users] Unable to install PostgreSQL 9.5.11 on Windows 10

[Regina Obe]

Jibran,

 

Given this is not a PostGIS question, you should ask this on pg-general list
instead.

 

https://www.postgresql.org/list/pgsql-general/

 

One thought, did you run the installer as an Administrator - Right click -->
Run As Administrator?

 

Thanks,

Regina

Subject: [postgis-users] Unable to install PostgreSQL 9.5.11 on Windows 10

 

Hello,

 

Apologies if this is an irrelevant question, here.

 

I have been trying to install PostgreSQL 9.5.11 on Windows 10 (x64) using
Enterprise DB interactive installer. But, no success.

I keep getting this error.

 



 

I am aware about the BigSQL installers but I prefer the Enterprise DB one
:).

 

I came across the similar issue here:

 

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46118851/unable-to-install-postgresql-on
-windows-10

 

A little googling routed me towards some proposed solutions (here
<http://1stopit.blogspot.dk/2011/01/postgresql-83-and-84-fails-to-install.ht
ml>  and here
<https://serverfault.com/questions/230219/vbscript-wont-run-for-domain-user-
on-windows-server-2008-r2> ).

I tried them but, no success.

 

Here is the error message, I am getting.

 

Can somebody suggest the workaround to fix this issue?
