Probably not all of them, but as the README (and I for that matter)
don't know what classes have changed between the versions you already
have and the versions you're installing it safer to do them all.

Not the exe, just the ocx & dll's.

I really don't know. It depends on what changes are made to the classes
and how VB has decided to register them I suppose. If you're concerned,
just run regsvr32 /u <filename> on each of the old files first.

The fix won't do that, upgrading the ODBC driver will. pgAdmin reads the
version number directly from whatever driver is registered as
'PostgreSQL' (that should be C:\Winnt\System32\psqlodbc.dll or
C:\Windows\System\psqlodbc.dll.
