IMHO pgAdmin does not compete with other "products", since it is a
community-driven GUI for PostgreSQL. Look what you wrote yesterday:

PGLA is *your* *product*, but pgAdmin is community software. As stated
before, I think many people will be glad if you distribute PGLA (or a
part of it) as OSS.

So pgAdmin is apart from many other GUIs since it is OSS and has
excellent features like Slony, GE, etc. It deserves to be distributed
with Windows Installer, unless another Open Source GUI which may beat
pgAdmin with its features appears on the stage. Also it is available on
Linux and some *nix systems, which I think is one of the best features.
