I'd contact the distributors or authors of this 'a software', if its got
its own postgres 8.4 build bundled with it. I do hope its not 8.4.0,
thats VERY obsolete, 8.4 is currently up to 8.4.18.

libeay32.dll is, I believe, part of OpenSSL, which is bundled into
PostgreSQL to support SSL connections. that error suggests a version
mismatch, where something is trying to call an entry point in that
library which doesn't exist.

this software you're installing, is it tested and supported on win7?

p.s please direct replies to pgsql-bugs(at)postgresql(dot)org and not me
personally.
