Subject: BUG #18572: Crash during postgresql-16.3-2-windows-x64.exe installation
Date: Tue, 06 Aug 2024 20:02:42 +0000
Message-ID: <18572-545f0c96d876553b@postgresql.org> (raw)
The following bug has been logged on the website:
Bug reference: 18572
Logged by: Paul Tobey
Email address: ptobey@rainbird.com
PostgreSQL version: 16.3
Operating system: Windows 10
Description:
When installing on Windows 10 I've hit this error, displayed in a dialog
during unattended mode installation:
"Error copying file from packed archive [location] to [temp
folder]/prerun_checks.vbs: Destination not writable" with Abort, Retry,
Ignore
If I Abort, the follow up message is:
"system's temp folder is not writable by the current user"
The folder *is* writable by the user running the exe (who is a member of the
Administrators group, BTW). I've captured the
installbuilder_installer_[number].log file, but there's nothing very
obviously useful there (I've obfuscated my domain and user names):

Preferred installation mode : unattended
Trying to init installer in mode qt
Mode qt successfully initialized
Setting variable whoami from C:\WINDOWS\System32\whoami
Script exit code: 0
Script output:
[mydomain]\[myusername]
Script stderr:
As I recall, there was a similar issue in Windows Server for a time, fixed
in 16.3-2. There still seems to be a problem in the Win 1x OSes.
