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.
Yes, the work around to fix the issue in 9.6.11-1 was to skip installing runtime by providing the command line option "--install_runtimes 0". That said, this has already been addressed and fixed in the installer code. The next update will include the fix.
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.
