> We just upgraded a customer's PostgreSQL installation from 8.3 to 8.4.1. I wanted to make a small change to the database. I wanted to take a backup before I did it, just in case. When I run pgAdmin from the PostgreSQL/8.4/bin folder and try to take a backup, the backup fails. The output shows me that it is running PostgreSQL/8.3/bin/pg_dump.exe instead of PostgreSQL/8.4/bin/pg_dump.exe. I found that the psql window that can be invoked from the latest pgAdmin is also running a tool from the 8.3 installation.

Preferences? I'm running on a Mac which means the preferences screen is accessible using PgAdmin3 > Preferences - on Windows it may be something like File/Tools > Options/Preferences.

Then set the "PG bin path" as appropriate.

It may also be that the 8.3 bin folder is set in your PATH variable.
