I have run into this problem before. Iirc, the error message is misleading
and the actual problem is an inability to load libpq.dll from the PostgreSQL
installation. You have two options that I can think of:
1) Copy libpq.dll into C:\Windows\System32
or
2) Adjust the PATH environment variable to point ot where libpq.dll is
installed (probably C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.2\lib\)
