I'm very sorry if my message seemed to be rude. That's not what I
meant. The same answer usually goes to bug reports about EDB
installer, pgAdmin etc. My only idea was, this is not the right place
to bug report. Meaning, you will not find appropriate help here. And
you probably noticed this, because your message was unanswered for
several days.

Yes, I'm aware that BigSQL listed on download page and I even used it
several times.
