Thanks to some assistance from another forum, I was finally able to install version 8.2, using the filemon.exe utitlity to track down file permission problems. Here are the changes I made. Disclaimer, I tried a lot of different things, so it may not be everything.
Installers:

1. Created windows user name: postgres
2. Under Local security policy > granted user rights assignment:
