How to fetch PostgreSQL binaries with checksums (for windows) - windows

I need the PostgreSQL binaries for windows as a .zip, which I can only find on the enterpriseDB website, but there are no checksums available.
EnterpriseDB support wasn't helpuful because I have no support contract.
Are there any other sources for this download, which I'm not aware off?

MinGW install on offline Windows for Matlab R2018a

I've seen this post and this other one. The list goes on.
However, I need to install MinGW (preferably the latest version) in a Windows machine which is purposefully isolated from the internet. The purpose is to use soem features of Matlab 2018b that require a compiler. I can upload files to it within some restrictions, but I can neither use the default MinGW installer, nor can I use the "Get Add-On" menu command.
By the way, the machine works with windows server.
How can I get an installer or a set of files that would allow me to install MinGW?
For versions 2016b and newer, MathWorks provides a tool that allows downloading support packages and sending them to off-line environments. The tool can be downloaded here and will require admin permission to install. With it, you can select packages to download at a target folder, and later transfer them to the off-line environment.
For each package there will be a readme file with the relevant instructions.

How to get NSIS installer check for SHA2 compatibility before install on older windows machines?

This is kind of a niche case involving legacy systems. We're using NSIS 3.03 to install our software. We have a SHA2 signed driver, but are aware some people are installing in older versions of Windows (7, Server 2008), which got the update for SHA2 support later. The driver (and our software) won't run on these machines, and we would like to avoid the installation all together if we can. How can we force a check for SHA2 compatibility before installation?

Almost everything that needs an Oracle 'client' can use Oracle Instant Client.
You just need to know whether the application requires the 32-bit or 64-bit client. Then download the 'Basic' package and unzip it. Add the directory to PATH. On Windows you will also need the correct VS Redistributable from Microsoft installed. These are given on the Instant Client download pages, or use dumpbin /dependents oci.dll to find which Microsoft redistributable library is needed by your version of Instant Client.
Some applications may require other configuration, and/or Oracle header files. The headers are in the Instant Client SDK package.

How to install new hardware drivers so when it is plugged in for the first time, windows will know to find the drivers automatically

I want to be able to deploy a project to some of my users the requires a USB-serial adapter. The hard way is to give them the drivers and tell them to plug in the adapter and when prompted, they will have to locate the files manually. I don't want to do that.
Most install shields know how to do that automatically - you install the software, plug in the new hardware and windows will automatically install the correct drivers. This is the solution I want, only without an install shield. What are my options?

FAQ: Information about Driver Install Frameworks Tools
InstallShield has support creating installers that leverage DIFx ( Driver Installation Framework ). If you don't want to buy/use InstallShield, you can also take a look at Windows Installer XML (WiX). It also has extensions that support DIFx.

How do I package up a windows driver for deployment?

I have a windows driver which is sys and inf files which I need to package up for deployment on end user systems.
How do I do this and what tools can I use?
I use AdvancedInstaller for building my MSI files, which also has the ability to install drivers using DIFx 2.1. Never used it to install drivers myself, but it can do it.
They have a trial version so you could give it a spin at no loss.
