Unknown error while running <> postgresql_installer_dc46cfee2c\getlocales.exe

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
