Also, if libxml2.dll is replaced with the 2.6 version as above,
"CREATE EXTENSION xml2" will result in this:

    ERROR:  could not load library "C:/ehorner/pgsql/lib/pgxml.dll":
The specified procedure could not be found.

Which may imply that that DLL was built with the 2.7 version.  With
the 2.7 version in place as originally packaged, we have can load the
extension but not use the functions from it.

    postgres=3D# create extension xml2;
    CREATE EXTENSION

    postgres=3D# select xslt_process('<foo/>', '<bar/>');
    ERROR:  could not set up XML error handler
    HINT:  This probably indicates that the version of libxml2 being
used is not compatible with the
     libxml2 header files that PostgreSQL was built with.

I wanted to check whether the packaged libxslt.dll had the same
compatibility situation as libxml2.dll does.  Unfortunately it seems
doing so means using both versions of the library at once!

Edmund.
