See the FAQ, question 1.2 for what is missing.

You can either build it from source, or you can install it on a
different machine and just copy over all files. Then you'll have to set
permissions on the files manually, as well as set up the service using
"pg_ctl register". (And run initdb, of course, which will require you to
log off and then in as the postgres service account as NT4 doesn't
support multiple console users)
