Did you install PostgreSQL ? I had such an error when I didn't install 
PostgreSQL, since all modules are compiled with the dependency for 
pg.dll and the above error came from the fact that g.region didn't run 
because of that missing dependency.

Really time to recompile the windows binaries without PostgreSQL 
dependency...
