>Found more information in the Firebird-support group: the fbclient.dll in WOW64 is the 32-bit client library. The Windows installer for 64-bit Firebird puts it there, so the presence of this subdirectory and this dll is quite normal. It's not part of the 64-bit zip kit, so it's not present in _every_ 64-bit Firebird. The slightly confusing naming convention is taken from Microsoft.
