Need free PG odbc driver for Windows 10

Hi:

I need a free odbc driver for PG to be installed on Windows 10 that my user community can easily install.  By "easily install" I mean no binaries, no zipped file, etc... just point-click-install (with the usual confirmations and accepting default destinations for the code and such).  

Devart used to give this away and I have a copy on my laptop.  But apparently it's not free anymore.

If it matters, the PG DB they will be accessing is on linux, psql (9.3.2, server 11.3)

Thanks !

If I understand correctly, there is a free ODBC driver on the
PostgreSQL download page.

Thank you.

See Thomas Kellerer's post for link to MSI downloads. Are your 
applications that use this 32 bit or 64 bit or both?  If there is 32 bit 
in the mix then you might want to take a look at:
