Thank you for the reply, but I'm not understanding this "not our problem" response I've now received twice.  I went to the Downloads page for Windows on the official PostgreSQL site:


I elected to use the second installer listed on this page: "Graphical installer by BigSQL".  From the presentation on that page, it appears that these two installers are the recommended method for installing PG.  Nowhere on that page does it say "here are two available installers - we don't really know anything about them, and don't endorse them, but hey, if they work for you, great".  If the PostgreSQL site is going to list any software packages, then there should be some minimal level of help with them, perhaps simple links on where to obtain further help and report bugs.

I found a Google Group where BigSQL issues are discussed:


I've posted this same issue over there.  Thanks.

At the very least, the PostgreSQL site should provide links for where to report bugs for third-party components. Expecting individuals to search for it themselves is asking quite a bit.
 
BigSql is not a postgresql 3rd party component. They use postgres. So
postgres has no control on what they do.
 
Bigsql can, and probably does, report it uses postgres and direct you
here for bugs related to it, like "I've found this sql misbehaves,
using bigsql v xx", but not the other way.
