Subject: [NOVICE] installation on windows
I used this guide,

{HYPERLINK "http://www.ejip.net/faq/postgresql_win_setup_faq.jsp"}http://www.ejip.net/faq/postgresql_win_setup_faq.jsp

download cygwin,
download cygipc
and follow the above instructions

its a snap to do and it works fine, the biggest headache I had was unzipping the .bz files.

There's a pg -cygwin mailing list at postgresql.org

install the two, open cygwin,type
ipc-daemon &
then type
/bin/postmaster -i -D /share/postgresql/data &

and there you go

useful utility:

pgadmin 11 fom sourceforge

enjoy
