Not sure about Microsoft .msi packaging...I'm sure that's pretty easy to work with, too. The installer should besides unzip, offer to run a few batch files (initdb, etc), set up the environment, and offer set up the postmaster as a service. A good windows program has no internal dependencies on the registry. Postgres is already set up to use the environment which is a more flexible setup than the registry for servers. Merlin p.s. Is there any way to keep mingw/msys from spamming console windows when compiling? It's very irritating :(.
