Subject FirebirdApiBinding::Initialize - Could not find or load the GDS32.DLL
Author Daniel Putra
Hi

We have installed successfully our Java application with Firebird 2.1 and Jaybird-2.1.2_JDK6 in embedded mode on more that 10
different computers. Only on two computers I get the error "FirebirdApiBinding::Initialize - Could not find or load the GDS32.DLL".
The installation is done via NSIS and therefore always the same.

I tried to copy fbclient.dll and fbembed.dll to the System32 folder and to the bin folder without any luck. I also created GDS32.DLL
without any effect on the exception thrown. I created the Firebird environment variable, without any success either. What could
cause this error on these two machines?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
