So, I came across the same issue as posted here, BUT my error log says something different (see below, please). I have been trying to install PostgreSQL 9.5.11 on Windows 10 (x64) using Enterprise DB interactive installer. But, no success (I am aware about the BigSQL installers but I prefer the Enterprise DB one :)).
I googled already and tried the suggested solutions here, here and here. However, no use. Can someone please help me to resolve this error?
Here is the lovely error message I am getting:
