Don't copy around dll files. This makes the mess worse. Make sure the 
postgres bin folder is part of your user/system path.


A problem we encouter lately is that other software vendors come with an 
outdated ssleay32.dll, which they put in sytem32 or int the path before 
postgres. simply deleting the outdated ssleay32.dll will solve the issue 
(as long as the postgres version is in the path)
