Re: Unknown error while running <> postgresql_installer_dc46cfee2c\getlocales.exe

Hi Glenn,

No, and neither did I receive any responses.

I did find the following reference that 9.4 is officially not supported on
XP, Server 2003 or Vista, however I have not seen anything "official" on the
PostgreSQL or Enterprise DB sites.

http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CANFyU97_WyAXjge_kEGR62MQwOVy0ExjBqec9cL8stLKAkWuYg@mail.gmail.com

In fact, the Enterprise DB site states: The 9.x installers are supported on
.... and Windows XP and above.

All the best,
George

Hi George,
Did you find a resolution? I have exactly the same problem.  Same postgres
version, same xp with sp3, same error log.
Thanks in advance

Hi List,

Trying to install PostgresSQL 9.4.1 on Window XP Pro Service Pack 3.

Installation is aborted with the following error:

Unknown error while running C:\Documents and Settings\George Weaver\Local
Settings\Temp\postgresql_installer_dc46cfee2c\getlocales.exe

bitrock_installer.log output below.

Would this be an issue with trying to install on XP?

Thanks
George
