<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>

it can't find<br>the correctly located postgis-2.0.dll-file. But at least I'll
