Guillaume,

Thank you for your reply!
I am confused about the status of EDB installers and archives as they are the only download option referred from postgresql.org <http://postgresql.org/> website:
https://www.postgresql.org/download/windows/ <https://www.postgresql.org/download/windows/>

Is there an officially supported alternative installation path for Windows?
For example, is it possible to install PostgreSQL on Windows from the EDB zip archive also mentioned on this postgresql.org <http://postgresql.org/> page?

Regards,

Paul
