<DIV>Hi,<BR><BR></DIV>I have the same problem.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>I installed postgres on an XP PC, which worked fine. (PostgreSQL 9.1.7,
compiled by Visual C++ build 1500, 32-bit)<BR></DIV>
<DIV>Then I used the StackBuilder to install PostGIS 2.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>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"<BR></DIV>
<DIV>The same happens when executing the sql "create extension
postgis;"<BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV><BR>I tried pasting the contents from the bin folder from the
compressed postgis installation file into ../9.1/bin/, but to no
avail.<BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV><BR>I used Depends.exe to diagnose, like Paragon suggested.<BR></DIV>I
included the dwi-file as an attachment.<BR></DIV>Is there anything i can
do?<BR></DIV><BR></DIV>Cheers,<BR><BR></DIV>WBL<BR></DIV>

again on several<BR>different Windows XP computers, but didn't succeed in

which took me about<BR>5 minutes to succesfully install the whole
thing.<BR><BR>I have no clue why it doesn't work on my XP. More exactly, why
it can't find<BR>the correctly located postgis-2.0.dll-file. But at least I'll
be able to<BR>test and recap the 'PostGIS in Action' on Windows 7 from now
on.<BR><BR>Many thanks for suggesting and helping anyway.<BR><BR>--<BR>View
