[ms4w-users] postgresql 7.5

[Jeff McKenna]

no joking around here, this is serious business :)

The short answer is that you should not use this ms4w postgres 
installer, just use the official postgres installer, 
http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.0.4/win32/ (don't install the 
PostGIS version from that installer) and then for postgis use Mark 
Cave-Ayland's PostGIS 1.0.4 installer: http://www.webbased.co.uk/mca/.

The MS4W postgres 7.5 installer was created before the nice postgres 8.x 
installer existed.
