I guess you don't find anything about that in the installation section because it
is operating system specific.
PostgreSQL does not consist of statically linked monolithic executables, but
it requires shared libraries for its operation (DLL in Windows).
The required shared libraries are included in the binary Windows distribution.
But you have to configure the shared library search path, otherwise Windows
won't find the shared libraries. On windows, the PATH environment variable
doubles as shared library search path.
Ask your system administrator or perform a web search about PATH on Windows.
