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....

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....

Yes, I can confirm that:

	http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/latest/

points to the wrong place.  I ssh'ed to
postgresql.org/var/spool/ftp/pub/binary and updated the symlink.  I
assume that is all I need to fix it and that that is the master ftp
location.

Better to go here:

http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.3.3/win32/

and get the latest version
