Re: postgresql as windows 2000 service problem

To solve the problem of event id not found, you have to register a event for
PostgreSQL.
This work is done by pgevent.dll you will found in lib directory.

In practice,
Open a "Dos" shell
Go to lib directory (C:\msys\1.0\local\pgsql\lib for example)
enter the command: regsvr32 pgevent.dll

The error message will disappear. You need admin privilege to register the
DLL.

The regsvr32 /u pgevent.dll command will unregister the DLL and delete key
and data insert in registry database.
It works on NT4 too.
