I installed pgAdmin 1.6.3 on Windows XP Czech version

 

After I could log in to the database, the program displayed the message it cannot write the file

"c:\Documents and Settings\linhart1\Data aplikací\postgresql\pgpass.conf"

(The „application data“ directory is localized to „data aplikací“ on czech windows)

 

And after I confirmed this message, the program crashed.

 

The given file and not even the directory

c:\Documents and Settings\linhart1\Data aplikací\postgresql

existed.

 

After I created the directory only, it did not helped, but after I created the file itself

c:\Documents and Settings\linhart1\Data aplikací\postgresql\pgpass.conf

with one comment line the bug did not appeared.

 

This is not a terrible bug, but it could be problem for some less skilled windows users...

 

            With best regards
