I see periodic reports of this issue, but I don't think it's ever been
conclusively solved. I seem to recall discussion suggesting the cause
had been found a while ago, but you're on the latest release so this
isn't just an old in-installer-version issue.
It'd be helpful to have a full list of installed software, service
packs, etc, along with the exact Windows version.
I've CC'd Sandeep at EnterpriseDB, who IIRC is looking after the
installer at the moment.
