PostgreSQL does support Windows 7 Pro 64-bit; that's one of the OSes I
use and it works fine.

It would be helpful to know which language your Windows install is in.
Please also collect the information listed in this wiki page:

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

It's also important to specify whether your computer is on a domain or
is standalone.

OK, it's on the network, that's fine. What I need to know is whether
it's part of a Windows domain, or whether it's running in standalone
workstation mode.

This information is shown in the control panel, on the initial "system"
control panel screen. It shows your computer name, whether it's on a
domain or a workgroup, and the name of the domain or workgroup.

PostgreSQL should install fine on any "workstation", network connected
or not.

There is something different about your workstation, perhaps Group
Policy rules, user account setup, etc, that is causing the installation
to fail.

To help you, I NEED YOU TO COLLECT THE INFORMATION I REQUESTED ABOUT THE
INSTALLATION ERROR, INCLUDING THE INSTALLER LOGS. Please READ THE LINK I
SENT TO YOU, which contains instructions on how to collect that information.

I repeat: Follow these instructions and do what they say, then post the
information you collected as a result, or I cannot help you:

If I had a solution, I wouldn't have to ask you for more information.

I haven't seen another report of this problem, so there's something
different about your computer. The trick will be to figure out what it
is, and why it's causing a problem for PostgreSQL.

As for language: I mean the language WINDOWS is in, not the language
PostgreSQL is in. Does your computer use English for menu items and
other user interface? Or is it in a different language? If a different
language, which language?
