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.)
