Installing on Windows v17

EDB provides a graphical interactive installer for Windows. You can access it in two ways:

• Download the graphical installer from the Downloads page, and invoke the installer directly. See Installing directly.

• Use StackBuilder Plus with EDB Postgres Advanced Server to download the EDB installer package and invoke the graphical installer. See Using StackBuilder Plus.

Installing directly

After downloading the graphical installer, to start the installation wizard, assume sufficient privileges (superuser or administrator) and double-click the installer icon. If prompted, provide a password.

In some versions of Windows, to invoke the installer with administrator privileges, you need to right-click the installer icon and select Run as Administrator from the context menu.

Proceed to Using the graphical installer.

Using StackBuilder Plus

If you're using EDB Postgres Advanced Server, you can invoke the graphical installer with StackBuilder Plus. See Using StackBuilder Plus.
