distributing postgresql binaries

Why not populate the registry properly?

It is not that difficult to do.

Good idea, but where do I find the correct entries?

I have developed an application using Zope and Postgresql and I want
to be able to distribute the application with a full database of data
so that there are no setup worries for users. The platform is Windows.
When I copy the app over to windows XP home, Postgres refuses to start
and I get a cryptic 'Application is configured wrongly' message from
windows. It seems that the absence of registry entries (done some
testing) is the problem. Is there a distribution that will run when
copied from one machine to another without writing anything in the
registry? By the way, I tried the binaries only install from the
download area for 8.3.7 and it won't start either with the same error
message. Any help would be much appreciated.

I have solved this problem. It's not the registry that is the problem it
is the visual c++ runtime that is missing on Windows xp home. Installing
vcredist_x86.exe as supplied with the msi installer corrects the problem.
