I chose temp only for illustration purposes.  Actually the regression test "tablespace" fails too,
for the same reason, when run from sources (which creates a tablespace directory under
src/test/regress)

 why are you putting database tables in the Windows directory?!?   I would instead put them somewhere like

C:\Users\postgres\AppData\Local\Temp   (assuming C:\Users\postgres is the %USERPROFILE% directory for the postgres service owner...)
