PostgreSQL version: 14.7
Operating system: Windows 10 Pro, Version - 22H2
Description:
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.
