The following bug has been logged on the website: Bug reference: 18668 Logged by: James Scott Email address: james.scott@hpe.com PostgreSQL version: 17.0 Operating system: Windows Description: All of the September 2024 releases (17.0, 16.4, etc) all include libiconv-2.dll version 1.15. This is a regression from the 1.17 version which has been included since PostgreSQL 11 at least. This appears to be the case in both the -binaries.zip and the Windows installer. Per the installer source at https://github.com/EnterpriseDB/edb-installers/blob/REL-17/server/packages-win64.txt, it appears that the intention is to continue bundling 1.17. Perhaps the transition in https://github.com/EnterpriseDB/edb-installers/commit/8ec613dbfb52430101804244984e201e2cbfdbc0 created an opportunity for an older, cached version to be included? To be clear, PostgreSQL seems to work just fine with the older version of the DLL. I noted it when updating an embedded version of the -binaries package, and wanted to give your build environment folks a chance to find the problem while it's benign. Thanks!
