The contrib directory I think you're referring to is in the source
tree, not the binary releases.

The one click installer includes the debugger plugin pre-compiled and
ready to use. All you need to do is  stick:

shared_preload_libraries = '$libdir/plugins/plugin_debugger.dll'

In postgresql.conf, and restart the server. Then, run the SQL script
in the database you wish to debug in and reconnect pgAdmin.

On double checking the installer, it does seem the SQL script has got
lost somehow - I'll get that fixed ASAP. In the meantime, you can get
the script here:
