So far I wasn't able to reproduce this error by my self, but I know from
about 5 issues inside the last month.
As I'm not able to reproduce I would appreciate any help from you to
find out what causes this error.

The error is pretty straight forward the server cannot be found at
localhost on port 5432, so:

1) Do you know that the server is actually up and running at the point
you run the scripts?

2) Is the server listening on port 5432?

3) Is Windows properly mapping localhost?

All installations do run on Windows 7 Pro x64.

PostgreSQL 9.5.0.1

Why 9.5.0 and not 9.5.5, which has a LOT of bug fixes ?

not saying thats your problem here, it sounds more like sequencing as
per Adrian's reply...

The error is pretty straight forward the server cannot be found at
localhost on port 5432, so:

Yes we use the standard port 5432

1) Do you know that the server is actually up and running at the point
you run the scripts?

Atually I havn't really checked when the installer will start the service.
And as I said, I'm not able to get this error reproduced.

2) Is the server listening on port 5432?

Yes.

3) Is Windows properly mapping localhost?

Yes.

When I got remote access to these machines after some time
the service was running and I could lauch the sql script from pgAdmin
without any problem.

All installations do run on Windows 7 Pro x64.

Seems it would be helpful to put something in the script to check the
server status and log it before trying to connect to it.

Yes.

Yes.

To me indicates this is an order of execution issue. The script is
running the connect/create scripts before the server is up and available
for connections.

I ment different versions fo our product.
But I had also installer including PostgreSQL 9.3.4.1, 9.3.6.1 and
9.4.4.3.

So far I wasn't able to reproduce this error by my self, but I know

from

about 5 issues inside the last month.

How can I check the server status?
Is this simply if the postgres service is running, or if some sql command

Yes.

Yes.

To me indicates this is an order of execution issue. The script is
running the connect/create scripts before the server is up and available
for connections.

But the first failing call is inside the original PostgreSQL installer
package,
where I have no influence on.
So already here is the problem.

This is from bitrock_installer.log
...
[14:58:49] Installing the adminpack module in the postgres database...
Executing C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.5\bin\psql.exe -c "CREATE

But the lines above seems to be fine
...

Script exit code: 0

Script output:

...

So does the issue follow the change in your product version or the
change in Postgres version?

In other words do the Postgres 9.4- versions install correctly with the
new version of your product?

Also what changed with the new version of your product, in particular
with the install process?

So far I wasn't able to reproduce this error by my self, but I know

Is this simply if the postgres service is running, or if some sql
command can connect the postgres port?

Since the issues seem to be with connecting, I would say testing for a
connection using psql would be the way to go.

Yeah, I missed that earlier.

This is from bitrock_installer.log

I do not install on Windows so this is getting a bit out of my league.

Is the above from the install log?

If so can you show the entire install log?

All installations do run on Windows 7 Pro x64.
