I'm no expert in this area but I know that RC4 has an exe installer and I
guess RC6 will have an installer along soon. What I would do at the moment
is install from RC4 installer then shut the service down and remove the
contents of the firebird directory and unzip RC6 in its place and copy
fbclient.dll and gds32.dll from RC6 to system32 and hopefully all will be
OK.

There could well be a better way.

On my system IBConsole complains in the same way as on your system - I also
press yes and am told about firebird not being installed or somthing - but
then IBConsole seems to work OK so I just ignore this. You might wish to
check out IBExpert by the way - it is better then IBConsole and there is a
free version but without all the functionality of the paid for version.

Finally you may well be better of posting non java - firebird related
questions to firebird-support list rather then Firebird-Java.

Hope this helps.

Thanks
Ryan

Help, I downloaded Firebird 1.5 in a zip file but now I dont know how to
install, how can I proced?
Unzip the files in somewhere and do what?
I did that and when I try to start IBConsole it says: "The server has not
been started, would you like to start it now?", I answer Yes, then it says
"InterBase server is not installed on your sistem".

I'd appreciate if someone could give me a tip.
