I was having a similar issue, and found a fix that worked for me from Garrett_H on this forum post:

Go to file %windir%infwsh.inf, right click and select 'Install'

re-run postgresql installer

I'm running Windows XP Pro and I was trying to install postgresql-8.3.17-1-windows.exe. I originally received the following error:

An error occurred executing the Microsoft C++ runtime installer.

In my case when I was installing postgresql-11.0-1-windows-x64.exe on windows10, I had faced the same problem. I just uninstalled the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable (the latest one for both 32 and 64 bit) and then tried to install postgresql-11.0-1-windows-x64.exe again and it worked for me.

Try installing as administrator (using run as administrator). In version 9.0 PostgreSQL can be installed as a windows administrator :)

Check if WSH is enabled. If not enable. Details here: http://1stopit.blogspot.com/2011/01/postgresql-83-and-84-fails-to-install.html

Take special care that your Windows user's folder name does not contain spaces, the PostgreSQL (as of version 9.2.2.1) handles that poorly. If I use this account on WinXP, installation fails with the "An error occurred executing the Microsoft C++ runtime installer" message:

"C:Documents and settingsJimmy (admin)"

But runs just fine with this:

"C:Documents and settingsJimmy-admin"

The spaces in "Documents and settings" don't seem to bother the installer. Go figure.

Go to file %windir%infwsh.inf, right click and select 'Install'

re-run postgresql installer

This works on Windows XP with PostgreSQL 8.4.17-1

First download and install virtual c++ from microsoft website, then run the installation from command with --install_runtimes 0

I too faced the same issue. I fixed it in the following way:

1. I visited the below site:
   https://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads
   


2. Choose the Download button under PostgreSQL Version 11.1 for Windows x86-64.

In one word, just try to install the latest version.

I had the same problem while trying to install PostgreSQL version 11.1. I had to uninstall the Microsoft VC++ and and run the installer again. It downloaded the required VC++ and the installation went successful.

The Windows Scripting Host is unable to execute VBscripts. This can occur if the scripting host is disabled (which is unusual), or if the installation is broken. A sign of this problem is a message like

CScript Error: Can't find script engine "VBScript" for script "C:....

It can often be resolved by re-registering the VBScript interpreter, click Start -> Run and enter the following and click OK:

regsvr32 %systemroot%system32vbscript.dll
