                               So cd into:

                               C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.3\bin

                               and try:

                               pg_dump --help

                               that will at least establish that the
        command is
                 being found.


                          OK - --help on the 9.3 lists help options


                      In your original post you said you have a 9.3
        instance and
                 a 9.4
                      instance.

                       >From your post I would say the 9.3 instance was
        installed
                 by the
                      one click installer from EDB and the 9.4 from
        Bitami, is
                 that correct?

                 Correct.


                      So do you know where the 9.4 binaries are installed?

                 If by binaries, you mean the program files they are
        installed
                 C:\Bitnami\wappstack-5.5.30-0\postgresql\bin


             Per previous posts you want, whenever possible, to us a newer
             version of pg_dump to move a database from an older
        version(9.3) to
             a newer one(9.4). Therefore you should do your dump and restore
             using the pg_dump.exe and pg_restore.exe from the Bitanami bin
             directory. I would cd to the above directory and do:

             pg_dump -V
             pg_restore -V

             to make sure the programs are found and are the 9.4 versions.

             Then do:

             pg_dump -Fc -p 5432 -U postgres -f irll_project.out
        irll_project

             pg_restore -U postgres -p 5532 irll_project.out


        It appeared to work with this method, but it has now been
        running for
        almost 4 hours with no result. The db is not that large (probably v.
        small by most standards) and the .out file is ~200mb


    What is running, the dump or the restore?

The restore - I can see the dump .out file that was created at 16hr in
the postgresql/bin folder

So how are you determining it is running and that it is not doing anything?
Since I ran the restore the windows shell has been 'active' with codes lines running - I took that as being active.....! 

What does the Postgres log for the 9.4 instance show?
Where is the log - here Control Panel\System and Security\Administrative Tools in event viewer or elsewhere?
