Possible Problems During Execution

libpq.dll

1. Check whether libpq.dll is in C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.1\lib\????, if not there then change project properties to reflect version on location in where you installed postgreSQL.
2. Right click on My computer, properties, advanced, environment variables, system variables, scroll down and find Path, double click it. variable value, go to the end of the path and type a semi-colon, then copy and paste the following path after the semi-colon:
   C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.1\lib\ms and close Visual Studio C++ Express Edition, and then open again.

ssleay32.dll

There are dozens of versions of this open source secure sockets library which are widely used by many vendors some of whom very wrongly install them in the windows\system32 folder which has precedence after the local folder but before the path is searched. postgres requires them and will use the wrong version.

The simplest solution is often to delete them.

del c:\Windows\system32\ssleay32.dll del c:\Windows\system32\libeay32.dll

If you cannot delete them then try rebooting. If that doesnt work then find out which program has them open using some dll search facility like sysinternals procexplorer.

Another solution is simply to upgrade them to the latest version of the files that you can find on your computer or on the web or from the postgres bin folder. See properties not the file date.
