The merge module? Into the directory you already checked:

My best guess at the moment is that something is borked on your
system. I've spent most of the week testing various methods of
installing the runtimes and the one that has worked every time without
fail is the Microsoft installer that Hiroshi-san suggested you try.

I would suggest re-running that, but with a slightly more inventive
commandline - eg, something like:

vcredist_x86.exe /q:a /c:"VCREDI~1.EXE /q:a /c:""msiexec /i
vcredist.msi REINSTALLMODE=vamus REINSTALL=ALL /qb /l*v
vcredist_install.log"" "

What that /should/ do, is run the MSI installer (which is buried
inside two, count 'em, two .exe wrappers!) in full reinstall
*everything* mode, and create a nice verbose logfile so we can see if
anything fails.

Once thats reinstalled, try running the PG installer again (also with
logging enabled), and if it still doesn't work, we can start looking
at the logfiles.
