I have used the enterprise DB installer to do this, but the 8.4 series
(even 8.3) there are native postgres binaries. This was why previously
you needed to use Cygwin. This is no longer the ace.  You do not need
to use the Enterprise DB installer to do this. I am contemplating
using the binary distributions, and combined with some of the scripts
that Knut wrote a few years back, we would not necessarily need to use
the Enterprise DB installer. However, there are some advantages to
using it, namely that it comes prepackaged with PgAdmin, and
StackBuilder,which will be quite useful for some folks.

JPP
