Well again, this is more of a database issue than a web one, so it ought
to be on that other list (of the same people), but hey.
If the issue you describe had come up on Linux, my guess would be that one
user (root/admin as it happens, but the same would apply for any user) had
installed the library without granting system-wise support in the process.
I would think the same issue applies on Win32 as on *nix, but I can't say
what exactly the problem is beyond that. Again I'd suggest trying to do a
fresh installation (re-install/overwrite/whatever), paying attention to
whatever settings get put in at install time.
Would the dll file actually get built during installation, or just moved
into whatever directory from the install package? I'm curious because
<wild speculation> there might be some answers in the binary that are hard
or impossible to extract, but unless you built it yourself during the
install (i.e. you had to have the source to build it) then you don't have
much hope of finding such hints....
Anyway, I still say to try reinstalling. It can't really hurt if the dll
isn't working right now anyway......
