$PGDATA"(?)).I'm not sure whether I specified the server encoding for the UTF8-instance though. Did I make something
wrong?
Not really, but I suggest you forget about the environment settings and
forget about the --encoding option and just use the --locale option of
initdb to set the locale settings.

thatthe db encoding does not match the server locale and that the LC_TYPE-Locale requires the encoding of the server.
Beforethat I thought it just fails because there is no locale with the name LATIN1 in windows. Are those additional
encodingchecks in v8.3.3 or had they been put in place with v8.3.1 already?
They have existed since 8.3.0.
