Try to copy the libraries in the directory of your application.

The procedure to load the library uses a straight windows loadLibrary call,
as can be seen from the following:

Procedure InitialiseDllist;

begin
  inc(RefCount);
  if RefCount = 1 then
    begin
    DllistLibraryHandle := loadlibrary(pqlib);
    if DllistLibraryHandle = nilhandle then
      begin
      RefCount := 0;
      Raise EInOutError.Create('Can not load PosgreSQL client. Is it installed? ('+pqlib+')');
      end;

So normally it should find it.
