Comment:

 realityexists BigSQL distributes their own version of PostGIS.

 The main reason it doesn't work is because their paths are all different
 from EDB and also EDB writes paths to the registry that the installer
 reads so knows what to default the paths to. IF you had EDB installed it
 would have defaulted to the right folder.

 Don't use the installer with the BigSQL distribution.

 either use there's which I would highly suggest unless you need SFCGAL
 support which they currently don't include.

 or

 B use the binaries from the winnie section and copy to the right folders.
