ogr2ogr from PostgreSQL-Installer on Windows without PostgreSQL-Driver

I have a local installation of PostgreSQL 16 on a windows-Computer from EBD (https://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads). I am struggling with the ogr2ogr tool when exporting Geometries from the Postgres Database. It used to work within our application for the last 15 years-. But not now any more.

I tried with the following Versions:

• C:\apps\PostgreSQL\16\bin>ogr2ogr.exe --version
  • returns: GDAL 3.7.1, released 2023/07/06
• C:\apps\PostgreSQL\13\bin>ogr2ogr.exe --version
  • returns: GDAL 3.4.3, released 2022/04/22
• ogr2ogr on windows server
• returns 3.2.3 But this is only a windows Problem. On our Debian/Unix production Servers I can use the ogr tool from the Postgres-Installation.

(one of) the call I use is the following:

C:\apps\PostgreSQL\16>bin\ogrinfo.exe PG:"service='local-postgres'"

It seems to me that the Postgres-Installer does not include the Postgres-Driver. Can this be possible? I always get the error:

C:\apps\PostgreSQL\16>

I even tried as Administrator or on Powershell but this did not solve the problem

After some research I found some users that installed GDAL from OSGeo4W. This I tried and that solved the case.

C:\OSGeo4W>bin\ogrinfo.exe PG:"service='local-postgres'"
INFO: Open of `PG:service='local-postgres''
      using driver `PostgreSQL' successful.

Or do i miss something else? That does not sound reasonable to not be able to connect with the Postgres 16 (or 13) ogr binaries to the same Postgres-Installation.

One speciality: I updated the Postgres 16 Installation two times with the GDB-Installer from 16.0 to 16.1. and 16.2 as documented. But that should not be the cause.
