Hi all,

Might I just suggest good old "C:\PostgreSQL" ?

MS SQL server defaults to C:\MSSQL, so I don't think that a directory in the
root path is unreasonable.  Further, it makes it look more important if it
installs in the root directory :)

All the best,

Don't do that.  I hate software that does that.  To me it immediately
screams "WE DON'T CARE ABOUT DOING THINGS RIGHT!".
