Well, the installer does not leave any file starting with "bitrock" in
my %TEMP% directory. I am using the default %TEMP% value as created
during system installation. Its value is (German operating system)
"C:\Users\Administrator\Lokale Einstellungen\Temp" or in 8.3 notation
"C:\Users\ADMINI~1\LOKALE~1\Temp". The subdir "Lokale Einstellungen"
is a link to "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local":

Administrator(at)TIGER2008:C:\Users\Administrator> dir /a |grep -i lokale
28.08.2010 15:22 <VERBINDUNG> Lokale Einstellungen [C:\Users\Administrator
\AppData\Local]

However, a scan of my whole system partition reveales a file "bitrock.log"
under C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local. I have just re-created it
with a fresh installation attempt. Please find it attached.

I have tried to interpret the error in the log. The installer
complains about not finding file
"C:\Users\Administrator\Lokale Einstellungen\postgresql_installer\installruntimes.vbs".

I suppose it is important for you to know that this file
"installruntimes.vbs" is present - but under
"C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local". This is the same directory
where I finally found the log.
