Обсуждение: BUG #15564: Setup sets wrong data type for value in Windows Registry

The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference:      15564
Logged by:          Panagiotis Drivilas
Email address:      pdrivilas@gmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 11.1
Operating system:   Windows 10 Pro x64
Description:

Greetings,

I have noticed that the installation sets the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PostgreSQL\StackBuilder\Download Path

as REG_DWORD but writes to it as string.

Regedit shows for this key: (invalid DWORD (32-bit) value)
If you double click it shows the download path as binary data.

The same problem exists in PostgreSQL 10 installation in another machine
with Windows 10 Pro x64.

Best regards

Where does this installer come from?  EDB?  This code is handled out
of the main tree so you may want to reach out the maintainers
directly, though they usually look at this mailing list as well.

Perhaps Sandeep can help then, I am adding him in CC, and he worked on
such bugs in the past, like here;
