Since setting the chcp command on the registry is recommended by microsoft. We cannot go with the clearing registry option. Kindly provide the solution accordingly.
Hi Team, We are facing an issue on executing initdb.exe it throws error like 'initdb: error: The program "postgres" was found by "pgsql\bin\initdb.exe" but was not the same version as initdb'. But postgres.exe and initdb.exe version are same. After referring many articles, sites in google. We came to know that Console code page causes this issue on specific case. If we are setting console code page on particular cmd session it won't affects the init db process. But if chcp value entry present in registry at the path "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\Autorun"(This entry helps to execute any command in cmd at the time of opening). Hence in the entire initdb process if cmd inkoved internally this chcp values will be set on each cmd session. This may cause encoding issue during initdb process. On referring postgres forum we found an bug raised with exact senario in postgres 11 but no response found for that mail thread. Kindly help us to resolve this issue.
