I downloaded installer postgresql-9.0.1-1-windows.exe from the official site, ran it, and then got an error:
An error occurred executing the Microsoft VC++ runtime installer
What is the reason for this error message?
Platform: Windows XP SP3, Dell Inspiron 1501. Processor: AMD Sempron 3500+
One of the reasons this can happen is because the installer attempts to install an older version of the VC++ runtime than what you are currently using.
See this installation log, found in your user's temporary directory (e.g. dd_vcredist_amd64_20190214193107.log):
[20C0:20E4][2019-02-14T19:31:07]e000: Error 0x80070666: Cannot install a product when a newer version is installed.
A workaround is to prevent the runtimes from installing with the --install_runtimes option:
postgresql-9.6.12-1-windows-x64.exe --install_runtimes 0
Create a shortcut of the downloaded file:
Right click of the shortcut → Properties → Shortcut. Add --install_runtimes 0 to the end of the file path:
Create a shortcut of your EXE file;
right click on the shortcut → add --install_runtimes 0 at the end of the target path, e.g.:
postgresql-9.3.1-1-windows-x64.exe --install_runtimes 0
save and run it :)
I was having a similar issue and found a fix that worked for me from Garrett_H in this forum post:

Go to file %windir%\inf\wsh.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.
First download and install Microsoft Visual C++ from the Microsoft website. Then run the installation from command with --install_runtimes 0.
In my case, when I was installing postgresql-11.0-1-windows-x64.exe on Windows 10, 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.
I too faced the same issue. I fixed it in the following way:
I visited the below site:
https://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads
Choose the Download button under PostgreSQL Version 11.1 for Windows x86-64.
In one word, just try to install the latest version.
Try installing as administrator (using Run as administrator).
In version 9.0. PostgreSQL can be installed as a Windows administrator :)
Check if Windows Script Host (WSH) is enabled. If not enabled, details are here: PostgreSQL Installation Problem on Windows without WSH
Take special care that your Windows user's folder name does not contain spaces. PostgreSQL (as of version 9.2.2.1) handles that poorly. If I use this account on Windows XP, installation fails with the "An error occurred executing the Microsoft C++ runtime installer" message:
"C:\Documents and settings\Jimmy (admin)"
But it runs just fine with this:
"C:\Documents and settings\Jimmy-admin"
The spaces in "Documents and settings" don't seem to bother the installer. Go figure.
Go to file %windir%\inf\wsh.inf, right click, and select 'Install'.
Then re-run the PostgreSQL installer.
This works on Windows XP with PostgreSQL 8.4.17-1.
Windows Script Host (WSH) is unable to execute VBScript scripts. 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%\system32\vbscript.dll
I had the same problem while trying to install PostgreSQL version 11.1. I had to uninstall the Microsoft VC++ and run the installer again. It downloaded the required VC++ and the installation went successful.
I had these same problems and tried
manually installing MS VC++
bypassing VC++ installation on postgres
fixing windows update service
Still unsuccessful
Then I solved these problem by installing postgres manually:
extract the PostgreSQL installation contents to C:\PostgreSQL (you can copy from successful installation on other machines)
add C:\PostgreSQL\bin to PATH environment
run pg_ctl register -D D:\pgdata -N postgresql -U postgres -P <your postgres password>

My environment:
Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS on Windows 10

PhpStorm 2022.1 Build #PS-221.5080.224, built on April 13, 2022
My Problem:
I'm trying to export a PostgreSQL database inside the Database tab of PhpStorm.
To execute the export I right click the database in the list and click on the "Export with 'pg_dump'" option. This opens the Export window with all the options and command preview:
Inside of the window I get the error message "Path to executable is wrong" even tho the pg_dump file exists at the given path /usr/bin/pg_dump. This stops me from executing the export.
I have tried to manually install pg_dump in another directory and select it in the PhpStorm Export window, but it still won't detect the executable. The executable itself works fine.
The solution to this problem was to do a sudo apt-get install postgresql-client.
Apparently there is a general problem with the pg_dump executable of the "postgresql-client-common" package:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/501091/command-pg-dump-not-found
After installing the postgresql-client package, everything works fine in PhpStorm as well.
The code is pretty simple there: IDE checks that file exists and is executable, then run /path/to/pg_dump --version command and parse output looking for some keywords. Unfortunately there are no logs which can show exact reason, but I guess the issue that IDE can't get access to the file. Most likely due to WSL. The workaround is to install IDE and unpack PG binaries on Windows, then configure port forwarding to make PG server accessible from host OS.

At some point I figured I can no longer update my IDE for Powershell - PowerGUI Script Editor (latest is v3.7.0.92 at the moment of writing). I am getting this error when inside the script editor -> check for updates, as well as in a standalone installation, in both cases the installation is rolled back.
In my Programs and Features I have the following relevant entries:
(A) Quest PowerGUI 3.6 --- Version 3.6.0.21
(B) Quest PowerGUI 3.6 --- Version 3.6.0.8
When I attempt to uninstall (A), I am getting this error:
Although the current version inside the script editor is shown as 3.6.0.21.
And when trying to uninstall (B), I get a standard Modify/Repair/Remove dialog, but when I do Remove, it ends up with the first error again (#1722 above). Doing Repair works, but does not solve the problem, i.e. still unable to Update.
Is there any way I can make it work again?
P.S. One may point out this to be part of superuser, yet I think it's an inherent part of Powershell development and so deserves a place on SO.
It seems the uninstall function either doesn't complete correctly or misses some important registry settings. I had the same problem, and this resolved it for me:
download and run the microsoft uninstall utility
in the utility do the following:
select the install or upgrade software or hardware category.
find and run the fix problems with programs that can't be installed or uninstalled.
give answers to the prompts regarding the powergui instance that will not uninstall.
exit the utility.
install the powergui version of your choice.

I have tried everything possible to install Netbean 7.3.1 on my Windows 8 OS supporting laptop. However, it was not going through from here https://netbeans.org/downloads/index.html.
This is the message I got after downloading all the software from mentioned link when tried to install for each download:

I downloaded JDK (Name of the file: jdk-7u25-nb-7_3_1-windows-x64) and when I tried installing JDK I got an error says:
cannot find bundled JVM to run installer
Please can anyone share step-by-step instructions?
Open command prompt in the directory where your netbeans setup file is located. (to open cmd prompt, press shift and right click anywhere in the directory window and hit 'open command prompt here')
Now type the following command in command prompt
netbeans-8.0-windows.exe --tempdir C:\Temp --userdir C:\NBI
hit enter.
This is apparently a bug, though not in netbeans. Check out comments 9 and 10 for a possible work-around.
I'm evaluating install4j in our company.
We build a win32 installer and we are trying to set up a continuous integration environment to test it.
The CI server is able to upload the installer to the windows target machine (which is a virtualized environment) using FTP, and run batch script that looks like
cd c:\tmp\upload\
my_installer.exe -q -varfile response.varfile -console
Currently we're using the trial version of install4j 5.
When the installer is ran from the command line (cmd.exe over remote desktop) I get a popup window that warns about the trial version.
Installation is frozen until I click ok.
When the installer is ran from telnet the command just hangs and never returns. I believe the reason is that popup window.
To fully evaluate install4j we need to be able see how it fits our CI process.
Is there any workaround for this?
This is a restriction of the evaluation version, with a permanent license key the evaluation dialog will not be shown and the problem will go away.
I have downloaded Oracle Forms but I am not able to install it in Windows 7 (32bit). I am getting an error

Click Check On Run This Program In Compatibility Mode For:
Windows Xp Service Pack 3
then setup will run and oracle will install on windows 7
Under Oracle Reports 10g directory go to install folder then open oraparam file in note pad and change [Certified Versions] windows values like bellow:
[Certified Versions]
