Re: Installing support for python on windows

<resurrection>

Ok so i am having trouble installing plpython, and found this thread.
Howevre, after adding postgresql/bin to the path and the python lib
directory to the path i still get:
createlang: language installation failed: ERROR:  could not load library "C:/Pro
gram Files/PostgreSQL/8.2/lib/plpython.dll": The specified module could not be f
ound.

so maybe im doing the path thing wrong? i used  :

C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.2\bin>set
PATH=C:\WINNT\system32;C:\WINNT;C:\WINNT\System32\Wbem;C:\Python24\Lib;c:\Program
Files\PostggreSQL\8.2\bin;c:\Program Files\PostggreSQL\8.2\lib

so if that is correct what else am i missing?
