I do not fully understand it either. The fact is, that ..
.. installing 1.10.1 worked on my Win XP Pro and my Win XP Home PC
(repeatedly)
.. installing 1.10.2 worked on my Win XP Pro machine
.. downgrading from the broken installation of 1.10.2 back to 1.10.1 on
my Win Home machine worked
.. but after installing 1.10.2 on my Win XP Home machine pgAdmin would
not start any more. Guillaume has a customer with the same problem.
Details can be found in the thread "pgadmin 1.10.2 crashes on start"
starting a 2010-3-17

I have disabled / uninstalled a couple of unwanted Win Services on that
Win XP Home machine, but i do not remember exactly which. Maybe that has
to do with it. But I have done this like half a year ago and did not run
into any other problems since.
When I finally get around to switch do Linux on my desktops, too, I
won't have to deal witch Windows any more .. *sigh*
