Bug reference:      3804
Logged by:          Juergen Zimmermann
Email address:      Juergen.Zimmermann@HS-Karlsruhe.de
PostgreSQL version: 8.3 beta4
Operating system:   Windows XP Prof. SP2
Description:        initdb.exe cannot be started
Details:

I wanted to install PG 8.3beta4 with just the ZIP file, i.e. without the
installer.

When invoking "initdb -A password -E UTF8 -U postgres -W" as an
unpriviledged Windows user I get this German error message:

"Das angegebene Programm kann nicht ausgeführt werden."

Basically this means:
"The specified program cannot be executed".

Using 8.3beta2 there was no problem
