Now, I am facing the need of getting some tasks running automatically and I thought about using pgAgent, so, I downloaded version 3.0.0 from http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/pgadmin3/release/pgagent/ and performed the following steps:

Add the path to the LIBPQ.DLL to your %PATH% environment variable and try the above step again.
Also if you have stackbuilder you can use that to configure pgAgent for your PG installation.
