 Hi,

 I am trying to install postgres 8.4.3.1 on windows  machine which has
 chinese locale.
 The install wizard throws warning message and continues.
 However the logs show that initdb failed and so the service was not started.

 Have tested this on windows 95 but I think this problem can be reproduced on
 latest windows release.

PostgreSQL is not supported on Windows 95 as a server, and has never
been. Only under cygwin, in which case you should be using a
completely different installer.

 This is reproducible on windows xp.

PostgreSQL doesn't support BIG5/cp950 as a server-side encoding.
