Yes. That's because you didn't follow a link from postgresql.org.

EnterpriseDB don't produce one for 8.3. There is a copy from the old
MSI installer at http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.3.11/win32/,
but it's not binary-compatible with the one-click installers
(different integer-datetime settings).
