Thread: Exception on connect

Hi all,

I've installed the new release of PgAdmin, but it falls over when I 
try to connect to the local server. I'm running WinXP Pro, and am 
still on PostgreSQL 8.0 beta 1.

PgAdmin starts up normally, and then I double-click on the server to 
connect. I enter the password in the dialog box, and and this point 
it crashes. The following appears in the event log:
  Faulting application pgadmin3.exe,  version 1.2.0.0,  faulting module libpq.dll,  version 0.0.0.0,  fault address
0x0000ec62.

I don't know whether this has any bearing, but I did a search for 
libpq.dll and found multiple copies and versions on my hard disk - 
just one in c:\windows\system32 (version 8.0.0.0), but there are also 
copies in C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.0-beta1\bin and C:\Program 
Files\PostgreSQL\8.0-beta1\lib (no version info, but both 132,536 
bytes), not to mention C:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi6\Bin (version 
7.3.3.0, 32,768 bytes).

Has anyone encountered this problem?

--Ray.

The libpq version we're distributing contains the version number 8.0, so 
the instance of pgadmin you're running seems to use a different one.
Make sure you're using only our latest version.
