Don't double-click on the application....open a console window first by
going to Start -> All programs -> Accessiories -> Command prompt,
then run it by typing (and substituing as necessary for the bits in <...>):

c:\<path to installation>\bin\pg_dumpall <options>

I'd recommend including the option -U <Postgres user> which makes
the connection as that user - otherwise it tries to connect as the
Windows user under which you're current logged into the machine,
and if there is no corresponding user in Postgres the connection will
fail.
