EnterpriseDB packages Windows binaries for the community but they are a separate entity. The PostgreSQL development team only officially "supports" compile-from-source installations. Other people and/or organizations take on the role of compiling and providing binary packages for the various platforms. EDB also offers commercial versions and commercial support whereas since PostgreSQL itself is Free-Open-Source-Software (FOSS) the community support is likewise free and all of the focus aspects and limitations that comes with that dynamic. The community is excellent but for non-bug related stuff does expect the person requesting help to be reasonably knowledgeable and willing to learn. > Lastly, is it possible that the documentation quoted above is > accidentally missing a mention of 32-bit users?

I don't think there is anything precluding 32-bit execution in the PostgreSQL source code so it is a matter of someone putting the need files together. As for your confusion on 32bit vs. 64bit I wouldn't be surprised if you actually can (and probably should) run the 64bit executable. You should probably read up on the topic a bit and check the machines that you are using to see what they are. Note also that whether EDB supports a given version is different than whether it will actually run. Given your first confusion (i.e., PostgreSQL != EDB) you likely need to better understand the landscape and/or give more details about your usage and needs if you expect any kind of clarity. > Any help addressing these questions would be appreciated.

This doesn't really qualify as "more details"...though the online/offline requirement seems odd. EDB people do monitor this list but questions pertaining to their commercial support and products, and even their non-commercial installers, will likely get better responses if asked directly to them.
