[postgis-users] Windows Installer failing - destination folder issue

Hi all,

Just tried the windows installer, and its failing due to the 
installation destination for PostGIS.

I can choose the destination folder ok:

(C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.3\)

However, when the installation gets kicked off, an error stops the 
installation, stating "PostGIS has to be
installed to the PostgreSQL folder".

[screen capture]

What is the "output folder" in the above dialogue, that seems to be 
pointing deep into the C:\users\userName\etc. etc. location - is that 
the temp directory for the installation files, or the path that PostGIS 
is trying to install?

So... why isn't the destination folder being used for the installation 
as instructed?

Download files pulled from here:

http://download.osgeo.org/postgis/windows/pg93/

32-bit file: postgis-bundle-pg93x32-setup-2.1.3-1.exe

Thank you!
