Bug reference: 1920
Logged by: Andrew
Email address: andrew (AT) merimen (DOT) com
PostgreSQL version: 8.1-B2 (win32)
Operating system: XP Professional
Description: Installer no WIN1252 & UTF8 selection
Details:

I can't select those 2 options for database encoding when initializing
cluster from the Win32 installer. This is in the list of new features for
8.1.

Most likely just a minor oversight on the installer and not the database
itself.

Please correct me if I'm not raising this in the correct forum or place.
Thanks to all developers, great job so far.

TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings

UNICODE has been fixed in CVS for the installer and will be in the next
beta.

WIN1252 is an oversight that we'll have to fix. We'll try to get that
done before next beta.

It's all in the installer, so if you run a manual initdb you can access
them in the current beta.

TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives?

I've added WIN1252 to the installer as well, it'll also be in the next
beta.
