Are you intentionally trying to install PostgresPlus Advanced Server?
If you are working just on your PC, you should be able to use the
PostgreSQL installer:

The password the PPAS installer is asking you for is the password to
your EnterpriseDB account, not a local Windows account.  You need to
register an EnterpriseDB account before you can install PPAS.
