Customizing the Windows installer
Hello.
We'd like to start deploying PostgreSQL to our customers. They run
primarily on Windows and are very low tech for the most part.
I need the install routine to do a number of things after install,
including creating a database and primary user.
I know that the 8.0 beta version for Windows had a GUI installer (I
want to say it was based on NSIS, but can't recall for sure). Is
this installer still available for 8.1, and if so, where may I find
the script that's used to create it (and potentially, instructions
for customizing ;))?
Thanks very much for your help.

Certainly, though it's not based on NSIS - never was.
For instructions on how to run it silently, see

For the source to the installer itself, look at
