I also got this error, but when running it manually it says:

It seems you don't have the program 'which' installed, and it is required by the script ejabberdctl that was included in your copy of ejabberd.

A solution was committed today to SVN.

You can either wait for a new version to include this fix, or modify the 'ejabberdctl' file yourself. Just replace the line:

base="`dirname $(which "$0")`/.."

with:

here=`which "$0" 2>/dev/null || echo .`
base="`dirname $here`/.."

And for Windows user?

The recently released ejabberd 2.0.3 should have this problem fixed. If you try the new version and the problem persist, you can open a new thread.

I also had the Error running Post Install Script error while trying to install ejabberd 2.0.5 on a windows server 2003 Virtual Machine. I tried multiple times.
I also tried to install 2.0.5 on an XP Vitual Machine, but got the same error.

I finally installed 2.0.3 on the Windows Server 2003 VM and it worked. But I have no clue as to why I could not install ejabberd 2.0.5.
