The installer builds a list of available locales by using a Windows
API to query the system. It then populates the combo box, and adds a
"Default locale" option to the list, which if selected, means that the
installer will leave initdb to choose the locale based on the
environment.

It's not clear from your report if the list is not populated
correctly, or if default option fails. Can you provide the installer
log from %TEMP%?
