Unable to install PostgreSQL on Win10 due to getlocales.exe

Question

I am unable to install multiple versions of PostgreSQL (ranging from 9.4.x and higher) on Windows 10, downloaded from here, each one reporting the same error:

Any idea on how to get over this? I was able to install 9.5.x on Windows 7.

I looked for postgresql_installer* directory under C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Temp but it wasn't there.

Here are the contents of bitrock_installer.log:
