As far as I know, you'll need an installed Cygwin environment to run
Postgres in it.
Look here : www.cygwin.com
That way PG can be run as a true Windows service.

To get PG you'll :
1) Download the cygwin installer
2) run it
3) all the base packets are preselected
4) select postgres
5) a) start the download
6) b) read the online docu how to install further

There might be another packet needed. At least that was the case when I
tryed last time. It is mentioned somewhere in the PG Docs or on the
cygwin site.

Yes. I use postgresql on XP Home. It has to run under Cygwin. If you
download cygwin then you can specify that postgresql be part of your
download. If you already have cygwin and try to download, you can just ask
for postresql. I found it pretty easy to do.

The site is http://www.cygwin.com/
