PostgreSQL version: 11.0
Operating system: Windows 10 x64
Description:
Today I tried the latest version (11.0) and because it returned to me an
error, I unninstalled it to get back the previous version (10.5). But this
version had the same behavior: at the installation end of PostgreSQL is
showed a message detailing the error then it continues normally to install
pgAdmin3. Here is the error described in the install log:
Script stderr:
Configuring PostgreSQL as auto start
Executing C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL/pgc config pg10 --autostart on
Script exit code: 1
Script output:
Error running config-pg10
Script stderr:

Problem running post-install step. Installation may not complete correctly

To solve that, for the version 10.5 I just opened the cmd prompt in postgres
installation folder and runned (as Admin) the following code:
> pgc config pg10 --autostart=on
Seemingly, it was missing the signal " = ".
Before it, I tried the same process with version 11.0, the service was
correctly created, but pgAdmin3 didn't work very well. It was showing a lot
of errors when creating connections, databases, tables...
