Re: Missing DLL after unplaned server stop

So, some following for people who will go trough this problem!

I tried many things to solve this problem, and after a while, I noticed
that a lot of DLL were missing...

Completely hopeless, I decided to erase my installed PostGreSQL version
with fresh binaries downloaded at this adress:
http://www.postgresql.org/download/windows

Unbelievable: everything has come back! Even my data, because I let their
folder untouched.

So, sometimes, just be brutal...

I think, the problem came from a windows update. I found some posts
related to the same problem, like this one:
