This project is of great interest to me as I am looking for a
easier-to-deploy database server and I've always loved PostgreSQL. the
PGInstaller project (http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pginstaller/)
looks like what I need but I'm worried that it's abandoned. I see a
beta posted back in April but nothing more since then.

Is there another more active project working on a way to install PG
without making the user go through all the configuration by hand? I
want to ship PG with a desktop software and I'd rather choose all the
defaults myself rather than try to talk a novice user through setting
up PG.

I wrote a VB wrapper and install PG from an embedded resource. It
handles all the messy details that technologically challenged users
might face.

pgInstaller certainly isn't dead - it's the installer for the official windows binary releases of PostgreSQL.

I should have been a bit more explicit in that I wrap pgInstaller simply
to control all the command line options.
