   Hi Paul,
   
   You might like to try the very good installation guide for PostgreSQL on
   Windows at :
   
   http://www.ejip.net/faq/postgresql_win_setup_faq.jsp
   
   Added a link to it from the techdocs.postgresql.org website earlier
   today too.
   
   :-)
   
   Regards and best wishes,

2. Trying Cygwin version of PostgreSQL again

   Justin Clift suggested:
   http://www.ejip.net/faq/postgresql_win_setup_faq.jsp
   I started from scratch following the page and adapting it where it is
   out of date. I reached the stage of starting postmaster and receiving
   the message:
   DEBUG: pq_recvbuf: unexpected EOF on client connection
   DEBUG: incomplete startup packet

   Aww Rats.
   
   I'll try it tonight and see how it goes for me.
   
   Did you use PostgreSQL 7.2 or 7.1.3?

4. Re: Trying Cygwin version of PostgreSQL again

   Hi Peter,
   
   Haven't yet had the time to properly try this out.  Did a quick initial 
   installation of PostgreSQL 7.2 with cygwin 1.3.9, and got the same error as 
   yourself.
   
   I've had reports of PostgreSQL 7.1.3 working on cygwin however, but haven't 
   gotten around to trying that myself yet.  There is a possibility that the 7.2 
   version of PostgreSQL that's made for cygwin might not yet be at a point 
   where it should be, due to PostgreSQL 7.2 only very recently being released.
   
   There is a PostgreSQL "cygwin" mailing list which you can subscribe to and 
   ask the guys there about, and this sounds like it might be the best avenue 
   for you :
   
   http://www.ca.postgresql.org/users-lounge/index.html
   
   Hoping that helps.
   
   :-)
