[Gnumed-devel] libpq.dll cannot load dependencies, pg_ctl.exe cannot be started

[Sebastian Hilbert]

Hi all,

We are squashing the bugs on GNUmed portable. The client seems to work fine 
for many people while the server poses problems.

I have narrowed it down. On some systems dll files are missing. They get 
installed when you install postgresql on windows.

There is some discussion on the web but no real solution. Seems like those 
problems were introduced along with the 8.3 release which uses MS Visual 
Studio 2005.

Does anyone here have a programming background and can answer the following 
qustion:

Is there a  way to move the identified dll files to a location other than c:
\WinSxS\foo so the will be picked up by the pg_ctl.exe instead of the system 
wide installed ones.

This has something to do with manifest files which I know very little about.

Any help is appreciated. All this can be solved by installing postgresql on 
the target machine (not using it of course) but I guess this is no option.
