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.

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.

The current version of the Installer installs a native build.  Cygwin has not been used in the standard Windows build for a long time.

Go here:

http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.3.1/win32/

 

Get this:

http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/download/mirrors-ftp?file=%2Fbinary%2Fv8.3.1%2Fwin32%2Fpostgresql-8.3.1-1.zip

The 'latest' directory on http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/ points
to 8.3.1 not 8.3.3

This is the one you need

http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/download/mirrors-ftp?file=%2Fbinary%2Fv8.3.3%2Fwin32%2Fpostgresql-8.3.3-1.zip
