I'd say you should set the client encoding correctly.
Looks like the bytes represent "abcß" in some LATIN-? encoding.

Error on Windows
Hi, ALL,
The following code compiles and executes but returns an error:
[quote]
Invalid byte sequence for encoding UTF8
[/quote]
[code]
char *values[2];
values[0] = NULL, values[1] = NULL;
values[0] = new char[schemaName.length() + 1];
values[1] = new char[tableName.length() + 1];
memset( values[0], '\0', schemaName.length() + 1 );
memset( values[1], '\0', tableName.length() + 1 );
strcpy( values[0], m_pimpl->m_myconv.to_bytes( schemaName.c_str()
).c_str() );
strcpy( values[1], m_pimpl->m_myconv.to_bytes( tableName.c_str()
).c_str() );
int len1 = (int) schemaName.length();
int len2 = (int) tableName.length();
int length[2] = { len1, len2 };
int formats[2] = { 1, 1 };
PGresult *res = PQexecParams( m_db, m_pimpl->m_myconv.to_bytes(
query.c_str() ).c_str(), 2, NULL, values, length, formats, 1 );
ExecStatusType status = PQresultStatus( res );
if( status != PGRES_COMMAND_OK && status != PGRES_TUPLES_OK )
{
result = 1;
std::wstring err = m_pimpl->m_myconv.from_bytes(
PQerrorMessage( m_db ) );
errorMsg.push_back( L"Error executing query: " + err );
PQclear( res );
}
[/code]
in the "err" variable.
Looking under MSVC debugger I see for a tableName a following sequence:
97 98 99 223
What can I do to eliminate the error?
Thank you.
Re: Strange error in Windows 10 Pro
Just to put a finishing note to this thread: I am placing the blame on the mfg of the PC - was supposed to be a NEW, but had a Reburbished sticker on the bottom of the case. Now, whether it was the PC mfg or Microsoft's fault, I really could care less - the PC became useless for installing PostgreSQL - versions 8.4.5, 9.6.7 or 10.3. The install ALWAYS failed at the very last step - the building of the internal folders, etc of the *data* folder. So, in frustration, I have chosen to install 8.4.5 on an older PC running XP. It just works! I don't like it, but I am constrained by the owner's wishes. Thanks, for offering each of your individual helps.

I'm almost ready to call Dell and complain about a "bad" Win 10 Pro install. Dale Dale, The problem isn’t in “bad” Win10 Pro install. The problem is that Win10 on this machine is configured differently from Win10 machine where your install worked fine. In Windows there is a “default” association between file types/extensions and programs that execute these files by default. Batch files like 'rad6DBC7.bat' shouldn’t have any association, Win OS knows that this type should be executed by OS, like .exe types. But sometimes Windows users change it, and associate .bat files with Notepad (or some other text editor) in order to be able to edit batch scripts. By the way, batch file names are different in “good” and “bad” installations because those are temporary files created by vbs scripts that are running during install. So, in order to fix this you need to dissociate .bat type/extension from Notepad, or whatever text editor it is associated on the “bad” Windows. If you don’t know where to look for this feature in Win OS, ask someone who’s more familiar with windows environment. Pretty sure that’s the solution of your problem. Regards, Igor Neyman

Re: Strange error in Windows 10 Pro
As you may have noticed in the Bad Install section, the user's name was 'don king' - with an embedded space. I created a new user 'Dale' to test out whether that name might be causing a problem. The new name also failed to complete an install. Dale On 4/23/2018 9:09 PM, Dale Seaburg wrote: Thanks to Moreno and Igor for the Event Viewer suggestions.

Strange error in Windows 10 Pro
I am attempting to install a fresh copy of postgresql-9.6.8-2-windows-x86 on a new DELL PC with Windows 10 Pro. It gets near the end of the install when the message says it is attempting to start the the database server. There's a long pause, followed by an error message: "Failed to load SQL modules into the database cluster". Using File Explorer, i notice the 9.6\base\ folder is empty? Has anyone else seen this before? I have no clue where to look for the issue. As a double-check on a different PC with Windows 10 Pro, I get no error message, and the database is installed correctly.
