The Windows and macOS installers provided by EDB are also available as ZIP
archives of the binaries, these might be ones referred to? We have the below
on the website:
"Advanced users can also download a zip archive of the binaries,
without the installer. This download is intended for users who wish
to include PostgreSQL as part of another application installer."
That being said, since the installer and ZIP archives are provided by a third-
party I don't think we should attempt to describe them in more detail than what
we currently do.
