Can anyone help me find a neat documentation on Insllating  PostGRESQL on Windows , Linux and Unix Platforms,
 
Thank for your help

A quick look on postgres.org yielded me this:
  http://postgres.org/users-lounge/docs/7.3/postgres/

That's the online version. You can also download a .tar.gz with all that
documentation to store locally on your machine.

Notice in the table of contents, an entire section for installation on
Windows.

Cygwin comes with PostgreSQL included as a package, so you could just
install Cygwin and have 99% of the installation work done for you.
Cygwin is a Redhat product that is free-of-charge.
