I did say "such as"... not a PostgreSQL expert - there may be more
involved.
Presumably your mingw folder is in your path?? If you rely on dlls in
your path you could just as well copy all dlls to your windows\system32
directory... which would set up the dlls for any project.

Anyway, you could try running depends.exe on libpq.dll to see if all
dependencies have been met...
Just to confirm: with project file you mean the directory where your
project .lpi is located, right?

Ok, thanks, so 32 bit drivers would be in order...
