I have never used VC++ and don't have the debugger.
I installed pgAdmin 1.10.2 on an XP Pro version, too (see description in
ticket #152) but did not run into problems there. On both machines I
downloaded the installer for windows and installed locally. Upgrade from
1.10.1 with the included "upgrade.bat", like I have done dozens of times
before. Install process was without a hitch. But starting pgAdmin
afterwards resulted in the reported error msg.
As reported, I tried the procedure twice with packages from different
download mirrors, with identical results. After downgrading
(re-installing pgAdmin 1.10.1) this version works like it did before.
I don't have Postgres installed on either computer, I manage a number of
databases remotely on dedicated Debian servers.
Several unneeded services are deactivated on the XP Home machine and a
couple of unwanted standard-components are removed, but I never had any
problems with that before. I just mention it to complete the picture.
