Installing on Windows¶
EDB provides a graphical interactive installer for Windows. You can access it two ways:
Download the graphical installer from the Downloads page and invoke the installer directly. See Installing directly .
Use Stack Builder (with PostgreSQL) or StackBuilder Plus (with EDB Postgres Advanced Server) to download the EDB installer package and invoke the graphical installer. See Using Stack Builder or StackBuilder Plus .
Prerequisites¶
You must have a Java JVM (version 1.8.0 or later) in place before Stack Builder can perform a Migration Toolkit installation. Adoptium offers prebuilt OpenJDK binaries from fully open sources.
The Java executable must be in your search path (%PATH% on Windows).
On Windows, use the following command to set the search path,
substituting the name of the directory that holds the Java executable
for javadir :
SET PATH=javadir;%PATH%
Installing directly¶
After downloading the graphical installer, to start the installation wizard, assume sufficient privileges (superuser or administrator) and double-click the installer icon. If prompted, provide a password.
In some versions of Windows, to invoke the installer with Administrator privileges, you need to right-click on the installer icon and select RunasAdministrator from the context menu.
Proceed to the Using the graphical installer section in this topic.
Using Stack Builder or StackBuilder Plus¶
If you are using PostgreSQL, you can invoke the graphical installer with Stack Builder. See Using Stack Builder .
In Stack Builder, follow the prompts until you get to the module selection page.
On the Welcome page, use the drop-down listbox to select the target

requires you to use a proxy server to access the internet, select
Proxy servers and specify a server; if you do not need to use a
proxy server, click Next to proceed.
Expand the Registration-requiredandtrialproducts node.
