Re: Unknown error while running <> postgresql_installer_dc46cfee2c\getlocales.exe

I would not be using xp if I had a choice. Actually would not be using
Windows if I had my own way. Its all to do with Legacy systems.

I have installed 9.3.6.1. which should be fine. This seem to be
working, or it has installed. I will test when I get the time.

Purely out of curiosity ...

All support for Windows XP was dropped in April of last year ... and
this was many years after mainstream support was dropped (2009).

What possible reason could you have for still running Windows XP?
Furthermore, do you actually expect application vendors to still support
it with their applications?

In an effort to actually be helpful ...

Do you _need_ 9.4? Can you go back (possibly to 9.2) to a version that
was in use closer to when XP was still supported? I don't know if that
will help, but it seems like a reasonable thing to try.
