It is obviously not a real installer, but if you put the cleaned up directory into a ZIP file, you can distribute that and whoever needs it just unzips the archive. Of course you can also take all that from an existing Postgres installation without the need to download the ZIP archive. iconv.dll (libiconv-2.dll in newer Postgres versions).So that leaves you with these files (from the bin directory) that are required for the psql client: But you can overcome that as well by simply putting the MSVCR120.DLL from some computer where it is installed into the bin directory. One drawback of this approach is that this requires the Visual C++ Redistributable to be installed. If you do want some of the other client tools, you might want to keep

The libxml2.dll and libxslt.dll are also only needed for the server. You can also remove all wx*.dll files, they are only needed for pgAdmin. Inside the bin directory you can essentially remove all. I think the share directory could be needed for localized error messages in psql but I'm not sure about that. As far as I can tell (but I am not sure) the client also doesn't need the share or lib directories, but you would need to test that. You can remove the doc, include, pgAdmin III, StackBuilder and symbols directories. When you unzip it, you get the following directories: What you can do, is to download the ZIP archive of the complete Postgres binaries:Īnd then remove the "server" part from it. Unfortunately there is no real client "only" installer.
