Probably the same issue as in "[GENERAL] Tablespace files deleted during continuous run", or at least very similar in
nature.
* Check that you don't have anti-virus software that (correctly or incorrectly) identified those dll's as infected with
avirus and removed them.
* Check that your file-system is undamaged.
* Check that windows hasn't been restoring a checkpoint with those dll's not installed.
If the database wasn't installed on a local file-system, check that the remote file-system is functioning properly and
doesn'tcache an old state or something similarly silly.
Postgres doesn't remove any dll's, so it's some external factor at play here.
