I think pgAdmin v1.20.0 was compiled with the same VS chain (2013 as I recall) as the PostgreSQL 9.4 binaries. These don't work on Windows XP. Probably should be noted somewhere on the site that Windows XP is not supported. So you have to use a lower version of pgAdmin III . Also you can't use PostgreSQL 9.4 on windows xp either. I ran into the same issue when a PostGIS user complained about the issue (wanting to run PostgreSQL 9.4 and PostGIS on windows xp ) and had to put a notice on the PostGIS windows page to that effect. Hope that helps, Regina
