I downloaded the Windows install zipfile for PG 8.1.5 and unzipped it.
Now I am mystified as to which MSI file to install from...
There are two files in the zip:
postgresql-8.1-int.msi 22Mb
postgresql-8.1.msi 138kb
Should I use the lareger or smaller file? It does not say in the
readme file.

try & fail will help here - only one of the two can be used for
installation.

ps: its the smaller one ;-)

Bo, you are quite welcome. when i first started with
postgresql a few years ago, i installed 8.0 but had
absolutely no idea how to use it or interact with it.
i found a tutorial to install 7.4 on windows via
cygwin and went with that.
30 days later i had it up and running. i must've
installed and uninstalled cygwin 20-25 times during
that time. that experience and trying to hack out a
cross browser css file are the two worst tech
experiences i've had to date. at least the pgsql
experience ended nicely. ;-) i never did get the css
working, so i found a forum where i guy did and didn't
mind sharing.
good luck - pgsql is cool stuff and this list has some
friendly and knowledgable people who are always helpful.

-int == -internal.
It probably would be good to come up with a better name than that...

Could the windows .zip differentiate better between the two MSI
files? -internal would be better than -int, but...
Is the small MSI really tied to the version? Can it be called
setup.msi instead?
