Your best bet as a new Windows user is to download the distribution
from here which includes a complete Windows installer:
http://pgfoundry.org/frs/?group_id=1000007
(or more specifically, this is the latest release:
http://pgfoundry.org/frs/download.php/85/postgresql-8.0.0-rc1.zip)
It should prompt you for everything you need to get the database up and
running. The documentation and pgAdmin, a graphical PostgreSQL client
is included.
Best,
