I would like to install PostgreSQL manually as part of my applications
install using InnoSetup.

Is there anywhere the steps required to do this and if so where would I find
them?

Many thanks
Jeff

I think you should be able to use the -no-binaries ZIP archive, extract it and
do the initdb manually.

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/creating-cluster.html
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/app-initdb.html

After that you will need to either start PG manually using pg_ctl or install the
service by use "pg_ctl register".
