The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference: 13692
Logged by: Nikolay
Email address: n8vred(at)gmail(dot)com
PostgreSQL version: 9.4.4
Operating system: Window 7
Description:

when I run from my nsis installer silent installation of postgresql 9.4 (or
9.5 beta) I get bitrock log error:
"The installation directory must be an absolute path, containing only
letters, numbers and the characters '-', '/', '.' and '_', and must be
writable."
If I use the same script but first I remove postgre maually - then all OK

My command:
postgresql-9.4.4-3-windows.exe --unattendedmodeui minimal --mode unattended
--superpassword "postgres" --datadir "c:\TaxCalcHub\PostgreSQL\9.4\data"
ps: changing '\' to '/' not solve problem ;)

same problem described

There seems an issue with upgrade in unattended mode. Will look into it.

Pls share the bitrock installation logs from the system temp if possible.
Thanks
