title: Install PostPic Postgres Extension on Windows
body: <p>I am trying to install the postgres extension <a href="https://github.com/drotiro/postpic" rel="nofollow">PostPic</a> that allows you to do image manipulation within the database.</p>
  
  <p>On their wiki site they explain installing for Ubuntu, however I installed postgres on windows server 2012.</p>
  
  <p>I read <a href="http://blog.2ndquadrant.com/compiling-postgresql-extensions-visual-studio-windows/" rel="nofollow">this blogpost</a> about installing extensions with visual studio.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is i do not have a visual studio licence.</p>
  
  <p>I am wondering if there is another way for a windows user to install and compile a postgres extension?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
