But I'm not sure that pgAgent uses .NET Framework or DirectX. So, if anyone
knows if it is possible to start pgAgent on Windows 7 without getting this nasty
error, I'll be grateful.

I had the same problem when trying to install the pgagent executable with the
pgadmin that comes with postgres. After I installed a separate copy of pgadmin
from www.pgadmin.org, and moved pgagent.exe and pgaevent.dll to the new pgadmin3
directory, I could install the pgagent service correctly and start it without
error message.

My postgres is the 64 bit precompiled one. maybe the pgadmin that comes with it
is 64 bit also and it causes a problem?
