Builderexits with the error mentioned above. If I choose the default WIN1252 the Stack Builder works correctly. I did
makeinstalls on copies of a German Windows xp sp2 VMWare image. However, now it seems to be working after it has once
beeninstalled correctly. Strange.
I honestly don't see how the client encoding option could affect
StackBuilder - all it does is change the command line options that are
written to the start menu shortcut for psql, and sets PGCLIENTENCODING
for the command prompt shortcut. StackBuilder itself doesn't know
anything about PostgreSQL at all - it's an entirely standalone
application!!
FWIW, I tested this anyway, and it works fine here (except that the
server complains that conversion between win1252 and latin1 isn't
supported when I try to run psql).
