Silent installation issue on FR language System - postgresql-17.0-1 Application

[Ujola]

Hello,

we have created the package of PostgreSQL 17.0-1 Application. We have used the command line parameter for installation is this: “postgresql-17.0-1-windows-x64.exe--mode unattended --unattendedmodeui none --optionfile C:\Temp\Install” This is working in English language machine, but it is failing in French language machine and throwing below error:

"There has been an error error while writing file C:\windows\Temp\postgresql_installer_8b85d458af\temp_check_comspec.bat"

we tried giving permission to this folder, then we have used “--installer-launage fr” parameter “--locale fr” parameters but still not working. I have attached the log here.

Hi, Yes it is a known issue for languages other than English when the names carry non-ASCII characters. We are working towards a fix, but there is no ETA unfortunately.
