Great, thanks.
 
Is this the appropriate place to ask those types of support questions?  Well, any type of support questions?
 
thanks

You don't mention platform, but Win32 is the only one with a
no-installer binary, so I guess we can assume you are installing on some
approved version of Windows.  Why did you elect a no-installer version?
The regular version comes with an installer and is very easy to
install.  I see the following note on the download page:

"postgresql-8.2.5-1-binaries-no-installer.zip is a zip of the PostgreSQL
installation directory. It does not include any of the bundled apps or
drivers and is intended for expert users only!"

It's a zip file, you just unzip it where you want it installed.  But
since you don't know what to do with it, I'd suggest you go with
postgresql-8.2.5-1.zip instead.  Unzip in a temporary directory, read
the README file, then double click the MSI file (or just type the name
at a command prompt if you use that.)
