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 
2. All the required system updates applied.
3. Installer supported on 64-bit architecture.


Regards,
Zaid

Sorry for not answering for a long time. The problem really turned out to be the username. I already had this assumption, but apparently I didn't change the username in the registry editor or somewhere else (I think it's because of the PATH environment variable). I had the name 'D!5(}', but I changed it to 'diso' and the program was installed without problems. Thanks

Hi,

is "d!5(}" the real account name or is it being printed wrongly by the installer?
