PostgreSQL version: 8.0.0rc5
Operating system: Windows XP SP2
Description: libeay32.dll error
Details:

When i start postgres.exe, is reported a error with libeay32.dll, about a
function that isn't found. I suggest that the installer copies the
ssleay32.dll and libeay32.dll to the bin directory, cause other installers
can overwrite those dlls and the service wouldn't start.

RC5 checks the DLL version on install. At least it's supposed to. Are
you saying this failed, or that the DLL was changed *after* the install?

The problem is that they are used by libpq, which is in SYSTEM32, so
they have to be there as well.=20
Are you saying a different installer overwrote it? Then that installer
is in error, because it clearly replaced it with an older version.
(Now granted the openssl DLL files don't contain version information -
something I'm in contact with the openssl guys about - but that's not an
excuse for the installer to downgrade it. It just makes life a lot
harder for the installers..)
