I abandoned windows due to xp, but I will suggest you test a couple of things:

1.- Do the directories c:\Tmp and c:\Temp exist, and are they world-writable?

2.- Are windows environment variables case sensitive? ( I do not
remeber how the cmd shell used env vars, I think you can test it using
somethhing like SET a=1, SET A=2, echo %a, echo %A ). If they are you
will need TEMP.

I cannot suggest many more things, but it seems more like pilot error
than a bug. Maybe an installer bug, but I think people who knows it
would need at least to know which installer you are using, I think
there are more than one for windows. I'll suggest you read
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/bug-reporting.html and
try to give some more details.
