Re: cannot get Debugger to install on 9.2 on Win7 x-64

Thanks for taking time to reply, Dave. I have stopped and restarted the
service several times, and have opened and closed pgAdmin several times.
It's definitely a PL/pgsql function. That's all I've been writing.
language plpgsql

Does the debugger definitely work on Windows 7 64-bit version?

When I look at the treeview, under Extensions, there are three:
adminpack
pldbgapi
plpgsql

pldbgapi has OID 17717, the schema is public, it is relocatable, it's
version 1.0, and comment says server-side support for debugging PL/pgSQL
functions.

It has these dependents:
Type: breakpoint
Type: frame
Type: proxyinfo
Type: targetinfo
Type: var

and 21 functions.

I'm thinking it is a GUI issue. What does the UI look for when determining
whether to display the Debugging option on Tools menu or on the treeview
context menu?

Regards
Tim
