I installed PostgreSQL 12 using Windows Installer. After the installation, there ́s no option to install postgis extension. I tried to add postgis support in a database using CREATING EXTENSION and I got an error message about postgis.control missing file.

How can I proceed to use PostGIS features in PostgreSQL 12?

    Checking the PostGIS website, I don't see any mention of it working on Postgres 12. If you could use 11 instead, that site should give you all the information and links needed to install it. Commented Oct 4, 2019 at 15:01

    Yes, you´re right. On the other hand, there´s no mention that it doesn´t. :) Commented Oct 4, 2019 at 17:16

I installed it yesterday, you could use the application Stack Builder. Here you have some screenshots.

There is a new PostGIS release out today (PostGIS 3.0.0rc1) that works with PostgreSQL 9.5-12 and GEOS>= 3.6: http://postgis.net/2019/10/08/postgis-3.0.0rc1/

(Admittedly I have not yet succeeded in adding it to my own PostgreSQL 12 database on Windows 10, which is how I landed here on this thread.)
