Re reading the readme.txt

1) Install PostGIS into your database if you haven't already
2) Copy the rtpostgis.dll to the lib folder of your PostgreSQL install
3)
a) then Run the share\contrib\postgis\rtpostgis.sql in your postgis enabled
db
b) You can install help now too by running
share\contrib\postgis\wktraster_comments.sql
4) Copy the contents of bin to your PostgreSQL bin folder
(gdal2wktraster.py, libgdal.dll) to bin folder of your PostgreSQL install.

the point 4 should come before the point 3....
