  1. BUG #18012: Installer fails to run .bat files when they are registered to Notepad++

    PG Bug reporting form <noreply@postgresql.org> — 2023-07-02T06:42:36Z

    The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference:      18012
Logged by:          Matt Feemster
Email address:      matt.feemster@gmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 15.3
Operating system:   Windows 10 Pro
Description:        

When running the installer it proceeds until just about the end, then hangs
indefinitely trying to initialize the database.
I noticed that when this happened, Notepad++ would open two .bat temporary
batch files.
I realized that the .bat file extension was registered to be opened with
Notepad++, which caused the scripts not to be run, but rather just opened as
text.
Once I de-registered Notepad++ as the default program for .bat files, the
installer completed successfully.

I think you may need to explicitly use cmd.exe to run the .bat files, rather
than just "opening" them.

    Hi Matt,
We addressed this issue in our recently released installer with package
revision no.3 (postgresql-15.3-3-windows-x64.exe).

Please try downloading the installer from
https://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads

    Thank you. I downloaded the new installer, set Notepad++ as the default
handler for .bat files, and ran the installer successfully to completion.
So you can close this ticket.
