I am running it with commands. This is what I'm running:<br>

It crashes at the X and does exactly what Regina is saying (those three

works fine for psql and shp2pgsql.
It couldn't be some dumb thing like because I presume psql was compiled with
VC++ and pgsql2shp I presume was compiled with MingW? (all are stack builder
installs at anyrate)

Mark,
I was running it with command line options to output the file.
Without options it works fine.
It gets as far as creating the .shp, .dbf, .shx before it crashes. All 3
files are pretty empty except some weird header gobbly gook so I guess its
when its getting into the loop to start reading the data so you could be
right about the libpq.
Though if libpq were the problem, wouldn't I have the same issue running
psql and psql works fine.
As a side note -- shp2pgsql works fine though that doesn't depend on libpq
anyway.
Not sure it matters, but I don't actually have PostgreSQL installed on my
Vista, so I'm just running from a folder with psql, pg_dump, libpq etc and
all the dependency files in the folder, which works perfectly fine on my XP
and Vista boxes.
Thanks,
Regina

Only that pgsql2shp is trying to do something that Vista doesn't like?
Could it be related to pgsql2shp trying to locate libpq.dll? I guess this is
just running pgsql2shp without any additional command line options?

That's correct, the installer versions are stripped to remove the debug to
keep the sizes down. I have the original unstripped versions here, but I'm
fairly certain that gdb/MSVC have different debug info formats.
Hence if you want to debug, you'll need these unstripped versions and a copy
of MSYS/gdb on your Vista box to get a backtrace.
ATB,
Mark.
