The many people who get it to work don’t report that fact. And then the
ones that have issues give zero details which makes actually identifying a
common cause to fix, beyond human error or failure to follow installation
instructions, difficult. Also, the PostgreSQL project proper, which this
list is for, doesn’t actually provide an installer. Whomever did provide
your installer needs to provide the assistance.
Maybe as you seem to have done research on the topic you can compile some
data as to what errors people are getting and how they get resolved, and
then include the details of your error as well. That level of additional
follow-through seems reasonable when asking free support on a free to use
product. Because, in all likelihood, there is no software bug here, or if
there is its a subtle one given how many people do use the product
successfully (admittedly more use Linux than Windows, myself included).

Correct, and this class of issue is usually caused by 3rd party software like
antivirus. In any case OP should complain to the original package author.
Hi,
Most of the time it is either the ACLs or some special configuration on
Windows that cause the issue. Which is your Windows version? Also, please
share the bitrock installation logs created in the system temp which will
help us to understand the underlying issue.
