Josef,
Though my German is weak(!), you're getting a sort of non-PostgreSQL error message there. LIBEAY32.DLL is part of the DLL dependency chain required for PostgreSQL's SSL support. (This DLL may have been the file damaged by your drive sector errors?) You may be able to solve your problems simply by replacing this file...
Meanwhile, if you need to recover data - and if you can be assured of a secure, perhaps local-only(?) client connection to your cluster: Would be to turn off SSL in postgresql.conf. Of course, you'd want to also restrict access to the cluster with the data thus exposed.
But it sounds like you don't have any fundamental problem with PostgreSQL itself; just with SSL.

Subject: [ADMIN] Installing PostgreSQL fails
Hello everybody,
Windows-Vista 32Bit, PostgreSQL 8.2.1
After the reparation of a bad sector on the disk, the PostgreSQL-Server did not start anymore.
I decided to reinstall 8.2.1.
The installer says "LIBEAY32.DLL konnte nicht geladen werden: 193. Das Installationsprogramm kann nicht auf eine passende bereits installierte OpenSLL.Version prüfen"
I must use my existing databases (folder data) !
Can anybody help me ?
Thanks for assistance,
Josef Springer
