List pgsql-bugs
I searched the mailing list archive for
"postgresql-9.6.11-1-windows-x64.exe" and Google with
"site:postgresql.org postgresql-9.6.11-1-windows-x64.exe". Neither
turned up anything so I'm reporting it.

First problem - I tried to install PostgreSQL using the EnterpriseDB
postgresql-9.6.11-1-windows-x64.exe installer on 2 different Windows
10 laptops. On both, I get the following error message in a dialog
box.

    Error
        There has been an error.
        An error occured executing the Microsoft VC++ runtime installer.

A suggested workaround (posted on https://oviedo.mx/tag/windows-10/ -
I did not try it myself) is to run the installer with the
"--install_runtimes 0" option.

The postgresql-9.6.10-2-windows-x64.exe,
postgresql-10.6-1-windows-x64.exe and
postgresql-11.1-1-windows-x64.exe installers work without problems.

Second problem - the word "occured" should have 2 r's - occurred. I
don't know if the message is coming from the PostgreSQL installer or
the VC++ runtime installer.
