If you look in %temp%", there should be one or more files named
"bitrock_installer" or something similar (search for "bitrock"), that's
the setup log with what's went good and what not.
Another hint I had since 9.1 times (it was 2012, I guess) was to avoid
installing Postgres under system folders (c:\program files, c:\users,
and so on) because in some cases there could be some nasty behaviors...
try installing on something like c:\PG96...
