The following bug has been logged online:
Bug reference: 1419
Logged by: Joseph Donahue
Email address: joseph@odonahue.com
PostgreSQL version: 8.x
Operating system: Win2K SP4
Description: Uninstall v8.0 removes files v8 Beta4 is dependant on.
Details:
I installed release v8.0 in a seperate directory from my beta4 installation
and then uninstalled it. This removed at least one of the shared files the
beta was dependant on. When I try to start the beta as a service I get
"pg_ctl.exe - Unable To Locate DLL" pop-up with the following information:
The dynamic link library libpq.dll coud not be found in the specified path
C:\Tools\PostgreSQL\8.0.0-beta4\bin;C:\WINNT;... (etc., rest of the path
deleted).
I know I should not speculate, but there is some risk that someone will
install the release and then uninstall a beta (after configuring and testing
the release) and break the release installation.

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@postgresql.org)
