It seems to be a windows error, maybe in your temporary path.
1) Verify your TMP and TEMP environment variables (values must
reference valid directory entries);
2) Is there sufficient disk space for extract files from the
PostgreSQL package into TMP and TEMP path reference on the environment
vars?
3) Also check out your user settings. For installation, you must log
in with an administrative role (in Windows).
