How do I installing PostgreSQL on Windows NT or Windows 2000?

1. Install the Cygwin package.
The Cygwin package provides a UNIX-like API on top of the Win32
API. It is available at <http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/>.
The 1.1.x series is recommended (1.1.4 was the latest at the time
The 1.1.x series is recommended (1.1.7 was the latest at the time
of this writing); using 1.0 or B20 might require extra efforts.
For B20 you also need to download the separate crypt library at the
same location.
2. Install the cygipc package, available at
<http://cygutils.netpedia.net/V1.1/cygipc/>. Do not use versions
prior to 1.04, they will not work.

6. Proceed according to the INSTALL file. (./configure; make; etc.)
NOTE: By default, PostgreSQL clients like psql communicate using Unix
domain sockets, which do not work on Windows. Start the postmaster
with -i, and when connecting to the database from a client, set the
PGHOST environment variable to `localhost' or supply the hostname on
the command line.
NOTE: There are two issues with Cygwin's current UNIX domain socket
support:
1. psql (and other clients) will hang if postmaster is not running and
the socket file (e.g., /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432) exists.
2. Cygwin's AF_UNIX sockets are really implemented as AF_INET sockets
so they are inherently insecure.
Problem reports can be sent to <pgsql-ports@postgresql.org>.
