Trying to install PostgreSQL.

In the window

Initialize database cluster I left the encoding (server) and (client) with values WIN1252. When I click next another window shows up:

Locale/encoding mismatch

The selected encoding is not valid for the chosen locale.

I dont even know what PostgreSQL is :) but I have installed it successfully on 3 different computers before, by following

Please help, I have no idea what I did wrong?

Which postgresql Version do you try to install?
Which operating system?
Which PC language?

Do you have an option to use a different locale, English (USA) for example ?

Yes, you can just click next - it looks good.

If you have Vista you have to be certain that UAC is off, but it looks good to me.

If you still have problems let me know and we will setup a teamviewer session.
