Re: Corrupted Postgresql Microsoft Binaries - Mailing list pgsql-general
After further investigation, it was determined that the issue was with the length of the path of some subdirectories in the zip file for the new binaries. Windows has a max path length of 260 characters, hence the issue with unzipping.
Postgres V 14.3 had a max file path length of 226
Postgres V 14.5 has a max file path length of 321
My team uses powershell v5 in our code to unzip these files, we needed to enable 'Long Path' for the files to be successfully unzipped. This was added as an opt-in by Microsoft for Windows 10 (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation?tabs=powershell).
Note that the files were successfully unzipped in Powershell v7 without making any changes.

I did some searching to see if there was a fix and the results where:
From MS the usual:
a) It's your problem
b) Upgrade
c) Reboot.
From others:
a) The builtin unzip program is buggy don't use.
b) Use just about any other program.
