pgadmin error when restoring database from tar file

Question

I'm trying load a tar file using pgAdmin, but it's failing and all I get is exit code 3221225781. This code seems to indicate a missing dll What is exit code 3221225781 on windows? but I'm not sure why this would be or what dll to look for.

Answer 1

Updating the path in pgAdmin fixed this.

Steps: Select Databases > File > Preferences > Paths > Binary paths. Then edit to C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\15\bin.

You'll need to use a different path if you're on a different version of PostgreSQL.

Answer 2

You need to change the path in pgadmin. In my case, I have PostgreSQL 16.

Go to File/Preferences/Paths/Binary_paths

Choose your PostgreSQL version and change to the binary path as:

C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\16\bin.
