I talked to Dave Page and it seems the pginstaller (non-bitRock) Win32 installers were _not_ moved from their beta holding area to the download section. They have just been moved and the URLs are now: ftp://developer.postgresql.org/pub/binary/v8.3.11/win32/ ftp://developer.postgresql.org/pub/binary/v8.2.17/win32/ They will propogate to the main download pages in 24 hours. Thanks for the report, and sorry for the problem. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@xxxxxxxxxx> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
