Hi Bruce
Yes initdb is in c:\msys\1.0\local\pgsql\bin.
I downloaded the binary from the following location
http://www.hagander.net/pgsql/win32snap/postgres_win32_7.5_devel.zip
Regards
Richard

OK, is 'initdb' in c:/msys/1.0/local/pgsql/bin or somewhere else? Where
are you downloading this binary? Is it possible it isn't getting
updated nightly?
