BUG #7851: Installer crash with message: An error occured executing the Microsoft VC++ runtimeinstaller

The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference:      7851
Logged by:          ivano luberti
Email address:      luberti@archicoop.it
PostgreSQL version: 8.4.15
Operating system:   Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bits
Description:        =


I know this is probalby a duplicate of bug BUG #7526 but I don't know how to
update it with new information so I submit a new one.
The same error message raised with 8.3.22 and 9.2.2.
But I was then able to install 8.3.22 using the pginstaller found at

http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.3.22/win32/


Ok this the new piece of information. Unfortunately pginstaller is available
only for 8.3.x. So I'm stuck since I need 8.4.x

The bitlog file provides the usual information:
