PostgreSQL version: 8.3 beta4
Operating system: Windows XP Prof. SP2
Description: initdb.exe cannot be started
Details:
I wanted to install PG 8.3beta4 with just the ZIP file, i.e. without the
installer.
When invoking "initdb -A password -E UTF8 -U postgres -W" as an
unpriviledged Windows user I get this German error message:
"Das angegebene Programm kann nicht ausgeführt werden."
Basically this means:
"The specified program cannot be executed".
Using 8.3beta2 there was no problem
