Hi all,
Might I just suggest good old "C:\PostgreSQL" ?
MS SQL server defaults to C:\MSSQL, so I don't think that a directory in the
root path is unreasonable. Further, it makes it look more important if it
installs in the root directory :)
All the best,
-David Felstead

Don't do that. I hate software that does that. To me it immediately
screams "WE DON'T CARE ABOUT DOING THINGS RIGHT!".
