Installing EDB PgBouncer on a Windows host v1
EDB provides a graphical interactive installer for Windows. You can access it two ways:
Download the graphical installer from the Downloads page, and invoke the installer directly. See Installing directly.
Use Stack Builder (with PostgreSQL) or StackBuilder Plus (with EDB Postgres Advanced Server) to download the EDB installer package and invoke the graphical installer. See Using Stack Builder or 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 Stack Builder or StackBuilder Plus
If you're using PostgreSQL, you can invoke the graphical installer with Stack Builder. See Using Stack Builder.
If you're using EDB Postgres Advanced Server, you can invoke the graphical installer with StackBuilder Plus. See Using StackBuilder Plus.
In Stack Builder or StackBuilder Plus, follow the prompts until you get to the module selection page.
