Description:        Parsing error in Stack Builder with LATIN1 client
encoding
Details:

When choosing LATIN1 instead of the default CP1252 for the client encoding I
get this error in PostgreSQL & EnterpriseDB Stack Builder:

13:42:54: Fehler beim Lesen des XML: 'syntax error' in Zeile 1
13:42:54: Konnte die Anwendungsliste nicht parsen:
http://www.postgresql.org/applications.xml

It doesn't matter whether the server encoding is LATIN1 or not.
