Hi,
I downloaded and installed a windows native version of Postgresql 7.2.1 by Peer Direct. The install was a snap. I was also able to set Postgres to run as a service under windows XP pro by run a provided .exe. This is really great as it is not necessary to unixify your windows OS with cygwin with this distribution. Also, performance is better.
The install is not glamorous, as it consist of a zip file. There is no use of the windows registry. All paths and postgres variables are configured using the window system environment variables dialogue. You can download the distribution from the following link which include a complete set of instructions.
I can hardly wait for the forthcoming windows native release of Postgresql due out with the release of Postgresql 7.4 .
