The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference: 3804
Logged by: Juergen Zimmermann
Email address: Juergen(dot)Zimmermann(at)HS-Karlsruhe(dot)de
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 ausgefhrt werden."

Basically this means:
"The specified program cannot be executed".

Using 8.3beta2 there was no problem
