Please see the FAQ on pginstaller.projects.postgresql.org, question 3.1.
Please note that I have just updated this FAQ with the following, which
may not be on the website yet:
There is also an issue if you have installed cygwin, and the cygwin\bin
directory is present in the system PATH variable. There are DLL files in
the cygwin directory related to interpreted languages (TCL, perl,
python) that contain bugs that can cause the installer or the installed
version of PostgreSQL to either hang or crash. Remove the cygwin\bin
directory from your path before running the installer!
Unless you have some further information on which libraries would be
missing? We have had no other reports of that...
