Comment (by realityexists):

 Sorry, you're right, it was mentioned on the download page - but there is
 rather a lot of text on that page, so it's easy to miss. What's confusing
 is that installer ''appears'' to succeed, but then the installation is
 actually unusable. So it would be nice to have the installer detect this
 somehow or at least show a notice - in bold - like "this installer will
 only work with PostgreSQL installed by the EnterpriseDB installer, not
 BigSQL".

 I think the wording above is good, except that instead of "EDB Application
 Stackbuilder" I'd say "EnterpriseDB installation". I don't use the
 Stackbuilder - just install Postgres from EnterpriseDB, then install
 PostGIS.
