Two more comments around that:

1) Those files *and any dependencies they have* must be in the PATH.

2) Remember that you have a per-user PATH and a per-system PATH. They
need to be in either the per-system PATH (recommended) or in the
per-user path *for the postgresql service account*. Having them in the
per-user path for Administrator or whatever account you are installing
from will not help.
