1. Old software

   kenneth@engstrom.ac — 2026-03-23T10:15:15Z

   Hi,
   I have a quick question.
   I need the installation package: postgresql‑9.3.1‑1‑windows‑x64.exe.
   
   Does anyone have a safe download link for it (one without malware — yes, don’t ask what happened 😉)?
   
   Thanks in advance for any help!

   You can get 9.3.25 (which is compatible with 9.3.1) on enterprise db
   site: https://www.enterprisedb.com/download-postgresql-binaries
   
   Also:
   1. usage of old minor releases (9.3.1 vs. 9.3.25) is unwise, as you are
      missing a lot of bugfixes:
      https://why-upgrade.depesz.com/show?from=9.3.1&to=9.3.25
   2. 9.3 line has been unsupported for over 7 years now! please don't put
      anything new there. and if you just want to restore, just restore
      using any 9.3, and load to something that is supported (currently:
      14+, but 14 will stop being supported this November).
   
   Best regards,
