Hello community, I need to execute pgsql2shp from the command line, but I am not interested in the other functionalities offered by postgresql on this machine. I have been told that installing an instance of a spatial database on the machine in question just to serve as a workaround for one utility executable is not something that IT will approve of, due to the extra overhead of software & DB maintenance, security configuration and server system resources... Is there a way to isolate all of the files necessary for a specific executable (in my case pgsql2shp.exe) from the postgresql 8.3 binaries without using the installer program. My collegue has already tried the following: "I did download a copy of the postgresql 8.3 binaries without the installer program and extracted a copy of psql.exe and put it on the application server in d:\database_apps, along with a dll file dependency "ssleay32.dll". I added "d:\database_apps" to the system PATH in hopes that psql.exe could be invoked at a command prompt without specifying where it was. Unfortunately this did not work. The executable needs something else that isn't there, and I am afraid it might be other Windows system 32-bit dlls that don't exist on a 64-bit version of Windows Server 2008."
