 From the above:

"The links below allow you to download archives of the files installed 
by our PostgreSQL installers. These archives are provided as a 
convenience for expert users; unless you specifically need these files, 
you should download an installer instead."

Have you tried the installer?:

When did you download the archive? 

This has been discussed before on the hackers Mailing list: 

https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/a7935d91-d1c7-e7b8-cfa6-0e736ff5610a%40chrullrich.net

When I downloaded the archive (named postgresql-11.0-2-windows-x64-binaries.zip) shortly after that discussion, the
problemwas fixed. 
 

The current archive for 11.1 definitely contains the DLL

However, I use the archives available from: https://www.enterprisedb.com/products-services-training/pgbindownload

It seems those from https://www.enterprisedb.com/download-postgresql-binaries are somewhat outdated as that page still
shows11.0 and not 11.1
