So, some following for people who will go trough this problem!

I tried many things to solve this problem, and after a while, I noticed that a lot of DLL were missing...

Completely hopeless, I decided to erase my installed PostGreSQL version with fresh binaries downloaded at this adress: http://www.postgresql.org/download/windows

Unbelievable: everything has come back! Even my data, because I let their folder untouched.

So, sometimes, just be brutal...

I think, the problem came from a windows update. I found some posts related to the same problem, like this one: http://forums.enterprisedb.com/posts/list/2843.page

Hi everybody!

I've encountered a problem similar to this mentioned on this thread: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2009-12/msg00207.php

I've got the same problem: I'm unable to start PostGreSQL (trough PGAdmin or the service itself). Message is: "This application failed to start because SSLEAY32.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." This problem appeared after an unwilled server stop (because of a storm). Nevertheless, I can't be sure my problem is related to this stop.

My server is a Windows Server 2008 64 bit. I'm using a PostGreSQL 9.0.4 version (32 bit), with PostGIS extension 1.5.

So, I looked after the missing dll: I found it into the folder "..\PostgreSQL\9.0\bin\postgisgui".

I didn't try to reinstall PostGreSQL because I have some data that I would like to get back. Nevertheless, I haven't done any database backup... Is there any way to get back data without backup? Or maybe is there a way to solve the dll problem without reinstalling PostGreSQL?

Any help would be great! :)

Geoffrey
