CREATE FUNCTION uuid_generate_v1()
RETURNS uuid
AS '$libdir/uuid-ossp', 'uuid_generate_v1'
VOLATILE STRICT LANGUAGE C;

I get this error when I run this script.
What does this error mean and how can I rectify it?
Postgres user has full access to postgresql folder.
I also tried to run it on a real Windows 2003 Server machine with the same result.

The library path is C:\PostgreSQL\9.1\lib\uuid-ossp.dll

PostgreSQL-9.1.2-1, WindowsXP SP3 (VirtualBox).

    Thank God the problem is solved.

    uuid-ossp from PostgreSQL 9.2 requires MSVCRT.DLL v7.0.2600.5512. It’s needed to install "Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package". After that Windows\WinSxS should contain manifests and policies for this library with names like x86_Microsoft.VC90.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.21022.8_x-ww_d08d0375, then uuid-ossp should work correctly.

    It’s worth noting that the PostgreSQL installation directory should have write permissions for users group to work correctly under Windows XP
