It looks like installer does set incorrect permissions for its temp folder in c:\Windows\Temp\. I can see the folder, e.g. C:\Windows\Temp \postgresql_installer_3086eea437.
PS C:\> icacls C:\Windows\Temp\postgresql_installer_3086eea437\
C:\Windows\Temp\postgresql_installer_3086eea437\DEVICENAME$:(F)
It should inherit permission from c:\Windows\Temp\.

Betreff: Re: BUG #18615: installer cannot be executed as "nt-autorität\system"
The following bug has been logged on the website:
Bug reference: 18615
Logged by: neeral85
Email address: neral85@gmx.de
PostgreSQL version: 16.4
Operating system: Windows x64
Description:
16.2 could be executed as "nt-autorität\system" while 16.4 cannot be
executed as "nt-autorität\system"
This is required by patch management software as it runs any installation as
"nt-autorität\system" and not with current login user.

------
Maybe "nt-autorität\system" user doesn't have the write permission for the "C:/Windows/Temp/" folder.
Can you please run the below icacls command and share the output.
