Bug reference:      16315
Logged by:          John Gunter
Email address:      jgunter1969@gmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 10.10
Operating system:   Windows 10 1809
Description:

I have a remote install process that involves installing software via
scheduled task using SYSTEM.

The installer fails on the icacls command, almost certainly because SYSTEM
isn't a user in which to run the icacls command.  Can the icacls command be
bypassed with an undocumented installer argument?
