Hi,

I would like to know if there is a way to install PostgreSQL in Windows NT Server 2003 without installing CygWin. The client insists on not installing CygWin.
Please help.  :D

Thanks.

Sure - there's been a native Win32 port for quite some time now. You can
compile from source or use a Windows Installer package - follow the
"binaries" link from the main website.
