Logged by: Nick Zemlyanskiy
Email address: zemlyanskiy@nanocad.com
PostgreSQL version: 17.5
Operating system: OS: Windows 10/11 x64 (local admin)

Request
Please confirm whether this is a known issue with Unicode paths in the
Windows installer.
Provide an official fix/patch or documented installer parameters to force an
ASCII-only temp/output path for locales.txt without changing the Windows
account.
If an updated build is available, we’d be happy to test it.
Best regads,
Nick
