Thread: Module not found on connection
When I try to connect to my database I am getting the following
error from pgAdmin:
An error has occurred in pgAdmin II:frmConnect.cmdConnect_Click
Number=-2157024770
Description: The specified module could not be found.
I am using postgresql 7.2.1 and pgAdmin II 1.2.0
The Full Debug log output for the connection is:

I initally installed the new PostgresSQL ODBC drivers. I then
uninstalled the drivers and re-installeed 1.2.0. It still did
not work so I uninstalled 1.2.0 and installed 1.3.6. That didn't
help. So I'm back at 1.2.0 using the ODBC driver from the PGAdmin
install.
I've uncommented tcpip_socket = true and port=5432 in my postgresql.ini
and netstat shows the port listening.
I did manage to get DBTools to connect to my database via ODBC
but that tool is less than ideal.

Paul Conway

I believe that DAC is > built in on XP (?) Yes it is. The error you're getting appears to generally occur if a DLL cannot be accessed. As it happens when you try to log on, we can fairly safely assume that it is something to do with MDAC or the ODBC driver (all the other bits of pgAdmin should either be loaded, or not installed by then). There are a number of things that can be checked: 1) Does C:\Windows\System32\psqlodbc.dll exist on your system? It should be around 200kb iirc. 2) Can you try logging in whilst logged into XP as an Administrator? 3) Also, there used to be an MDAC checker at www.microsoft.com/data - can you download that and check your system? Regards, Dave.
:1) Does C:\Windows\System32\psqlodbc.dll exist on your
:system? It should
:be around 200kb iirc.
That file seems OK
:2) Can you try logging in whilst logged into XP as
:an Administrator?
Yes .. problam is the same
:3) Also, there used to be an MDAC checker at www.microsoft.com/data
OK, this shows MSDADC.dll as not being found in a program directory
(SAP business warehouse frontend). Probably the result of a brute
force installation process on their part.
I've edited the class-id's associated with this file in the registry
(after backing up the keys of course). The DAC check now runs
without errors but I now get 'Error in the DLL' in frmConnect.cmdConnect_Click
with PGAdmin. Funnily enough your connection debugging tool connects
OK(?). DBTools still connects too.
An ODBC trace shows the following:
pgAdmin2 a2c-7f8 ENTER SQLAllocEnv
HENV * 1F6CCDBC
pgAdmin2 a2c-7f8 EXIT SQLAllocEnv with return code 0
(SQL_SUCCESS)

DBTools still connects too. Ugh. If you've got to the stage where you're editting classids then something is definately screwy on your machine. Can you fix your MDAC properly by re-running the XP setup from the install CD? Regards, Dave.
