First detected on a production system when trying to update from 16.2 to
16.3.

The problem is however reproducable with a fresh installation of version
16.3 and occurs under the following condition:
- A local user exists e.g. MyServer\DomAdmin and has a user profile under
C:\Users\DomAdmin
- A domain user exists e.g. MyDomain\DomAdmin and has a user profile under
C:\Users\DomAdmin.MyDomain

Shortly after starting an installation of 16.3 under the domain user, the
following error occurs:
Error copying file from packed archive
C:/Users/DomAdmin.MYDOMAIN/Downloads/postgresql-16.3-2-windows-x64.exe to
C:/Users/DomAdmin.MYDOMAIN/AppData/Local/Temp/postgresql_installer_da4fcce335/prerun_checks.vbs:Destination
not writable

The destination directory
C:/Users/DomAdmin.MYDOMAIN/AppData/Local/Temp/postgresql_installer_da4fcce335
exists in the correct directory but it is owned by the local user
MyServer\DomAdmin instead of MyDomain\DomAdmin

Installing 16.3. with the local administrator works without a problem.
In our case, the setup is however part of another application which must
run under a domain user.

Thank for your support

Klaus
