Re: BUG #18646: The problem with the installer

Hello,

I tried the PostgreSQL 17 RC1 on Windows 11 x86_64, and it's working fine.
Before installation please make sure following pre-req

1. Your logon user follow the standard naming conventions
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/customize/desktop/unattend/microsoft-windows-shell-setup-autologon-username
2. All the required system updates applied.
3. Installer supported on 64-bit architecture.

Regards,
Zaid
