Thanks Adrian for the suggestion of running the installer with
Admin rights. Unfortunately, I get the same results. It appears
that all of the folders within C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.6
path are created, and populated, BUT, when the items in the data
folder are to be created, or copied into, it leaves an error
message as noted previously. The data folder is empty.
It's almost as if the PC is missing a critical .dll needed in the
data folder filling function (my guess).
Again, I am at a loss as to what to do.

Oops,
my mistake. I'll let this serve the list with what I've tried so
far. Thanks, Adrian for the reminder.
I hope tomorrow to visit the customer and try the Admin user
method of installing.

You are running as Admin user?
I can't say that I was. Will check this next time (maybe
tomorrow) when I am customer's site. I didn't even think
about right-clicking on the installer and selecting
run-as-admin. I know I did not deliberately use Admin user on
the test PC mentioned below, and it installed with no
problems.
As a double-check on a different PC with Windows 10 Pro, I
get no error message, and the database is installed
correctly.
