If this is a new installation, you should really use 9.2. 8.4 will go
out of support in about a year.

You're suffering from the problem described here:
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Running_%26_Installing_PostgreSQL_On_Native_Windows#The_installer_exits_with_a_runtime_installation_error.3F.
The error comes usually because either the script interpretor isn't
registered or the TEMP dir is unwriteable (both of which you said
you've checked), or sometimes because the .vbs file extension is
registered incorrectly. You can check how the filetype is registered
like this:
C:\>assoc .vbs
.vbs=VBSFile
C:\>ftype VBSFile
VBSFile=%SystemRoot%\System32\WScript.exe "%1" %*
(it should look like that)
