If this is a new installation, you should really use 9.2. 8.4 will go out of support in about a year.

It is a new installation on my machine, but I use for development and I have to support customers that will still use 8.4 for a while.
You're suffering from the problem described here:
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Running_%26_Installing_PostgreSQL_On_Native_Windows#The_installer_exits_with_a_runtime_installation_error.3F.

yes I read that
The error comes usually because either the script interpretor isn't
registered or the TEMP dir is unwriteable (both of which you said
you've checked), or sometimes because the .vbs file extension is
registered incorrectly. You can check how the filetype is registered
like this:

C:\>assoc .vbs
.vbs=VBSFile

C:\>ftype VBSFile
VBSFile=%SystemRoot%\System32\WScript.exe "%1" %*

(it should look like that)

It look exactly like that and I run the installer as an administrator.
I don't want to mix two different issues here but I also tried to install 9.2.2-1 and I get a
"Unable to write inside TEMP environment variable path"
error message
And in the TEMP dir I find a bitrock_installer file with the following content
