RC5 checks the DLL version on install. At least it's supposed to. Are
you saying this failed, or that the DLL was changed *after* the install?

The problem is that they are used by libpq, which is in SYSTEM32, so
they have to be there as well.
Are you saying a different installer overwrote it? Then that installer
is in error, because it clearly replaced it with an older version.
(Now granted the openssl DLL files don't contain version information -
something I'm in contact with the openssl guys about - but that's not an
excuse for the installer to downgrade it. It just makes life a lot
harder for the installers..)
