I don't know if this has been discussed before, but I mentioned recently (<https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/e4233934-98a6-6f76-46a0-992c0f4f1208%40dunslane.net>) that I think the MSVC build system is too eager about installing executables it builds. In particular, it installs these binaries for which the analogs are not installed by the makefile system:
isolationtester.exe libpq_pipeline.exe pg_isolation_regress.exe pg_regress_ecpg.exe pg_regress.exe zic.exe Do we want to do anything about that? ISTM we should be installing identical sets of binaries as far as possible. The installation of libpq_pipeline.exe is apparently what has led Justin Pryzby to think it's OK to undo the effect of commit f4ce6c4d3a on vcregress.pl. cheers andrew -- Andrew Dunstan EDB: https://www.enterprisedb.com
