Yours sincerely,Wouter

Willy,
 
when you say compressed postgis file -- you mean the one on 
this page?
 
http://www.postgis.org/download/windows/#windbinaries
 
I unfortunately don't have a windows xp machine readily handy 
to test with.  I haven't tried upgrading my test to 9.1.7 to rule that out 
as an issue so I'll give that a try.
This issue is usually caused by libxml2-2.dll 
incompatibilities.  Though I gather you are using the one packaged with 
PostGIS since it looks like the postgres one isu using 
libxml2.dll
 
Have you been running PostGIS 2 or 1.5 on your windows xp 
successfully in past
 
Thanks,
Regina

Hi,

I have the same problem.

I installed postgres on an XP PC, which worked fine. (PostgreSQL 9.1.7, 
compiled by Visual C++ build 1500, 32-bit)

Then I used the StackBuilder to install PostGIS 2.

Upon creating the extension, i get the error "ERROR: could not load library 
"C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/9.1/lib/postgis-2.0.dll": unknown error 
998"

The same happens when executing the sql "create extension 
postgis;"


I tried pasting the contents from the bin folder from the 
compressed postgis installation file into ../9.1/bin/, but to no 
avail.



I used Depends.exe to diagnose, like Paragon suggested.
I 
included the dwi-file as an attachment.
Is there anything i can 
do?

Cheers,

WBL

So, I've been trying to install PostGIS 2.0 over and over 
  again on several
different Windows XP computers, but didn't succeed in 
  getting it up and
running. So I ended up borrowing my brother's Windows 7 
  pc, using the exact
same download (postgreSQL + postgis using stackbuilder) 
  which took me about
5 minutes to succesfully install the whole 
  thing.

I have no clue why it doesn't work on my XP. More exactly, why 
  it can't find
the correctly located postgis-2.0.dll-file. But at least I'll 
  be able to
test and recap the 'PostGIS in Action' on Windows 7 from now 
  on.

Many thanks for suggesting and helping anyway.
