Hi Magnus, I had the same problem, and your answer helped me to get PostGreSQL finally installed by removing the existing LIBEAY32.DLL.
As far as I could find out, my LIBEAY32.DLL had been installed by CrystalReports 10 and it has the version number 0.9.6.101, a size of 657 KB and the date of the last changes is 09th of December 2003. Obviously it is not replaced during the installation process although the installation file is newer (but without visible version number). After having installed the new dll file CrystalReports does not seem to have any problem but maybe I'm not using any of the features provided by this file. Thanks for your help, maybe my informations can be useful.
