See:

The error you're getting suggests that your VBScript runtime is
misregistered.

Can you post the installation log for that one too?

Sounds like your system setup is a bit wonky.  Do you have antivirus
software running? If so, disable or uninstall it then try again. Again, see

http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Running_%26_Installing_PostgreSQL_On_Native_Windows#Common_installation_errors

and http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Troubleshooting_Installation
