    Cannot estabalish connection to PostgreSQL

    I just downloaded your 30 day evaluation version of ModelRight for PostgreSQL. I am attempting to reverse-engineer a database running on PostgreSQL 8.4. Every time I try to connect to the DB I get an error saying that I need to place the PostgreSQL libpq.dll on my path or in the ModelRight directory. Well I have added the libpq.dll to my path .. didn't work. I also added the libpq.dll to the ModelRight directory..didn't work. So how am I supposed to get this thing to work.

     

    Just tried the professional 3.5 version and it is complaining about the same thing. Is this software tested before it goes out the door?

     

    Windows XP sp3

    PostgreSQL 8.4

     

    Thanks for any insight.

    Thank you.

    I had my path set to postgreSQL\lib instead of bin. Made the change and everything is fine. Don't mean to still be whining but the documentation should be a little clearer.

     

    Thanks a bunch,
