These are the locales supported by Windows, there is nothing wrong with that.
 
As for the installation directory - that definitly sounds wrong. It does work for me. Though you have to change the directory once for each top-level feature, or they will go into different directories. We probably want to fix that. I see Dave has added it to http://pgfoundry.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1000039&group_id=1000007&atid=126

Hi

 

If you specify an installation directory, the installer ignores it and installs in default C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\7.5. This is wrong. Any way round?. Locale is defaulting to C but the drop down list gives languages!

Great job. I've tried it and here are the little details I noticed:

- I think  the service doesn't check the postmaster.pid before starting, so it fails after a abnormal Windows termination. The pid's ghost remains in the data directory after a crash...

- The button "Next" doesn't become available after the filling of the last box in some Windows. It "turns on" if we click anywhere, after that.

- The service is created Ok, but is set to start manually. By the way, I think that warning about the creation of the limited user with "logon as a service right" deserves a hole window, all for himself...

- The psql.exe asks the user's password, but says it is wrong even before it is issued.

 

Just a question: is there any possibility to give  user the option to install the Postgis extension? It would be nice, and that moment when the packages to be installed are chosen (odbc, jdbc, etc) is specially apropriate...

 

Congratulations for the outstanding work.

 

Jomar
