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.

obviously you didn't installed fbclient on your system

or put c:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_2_5\bin into your path
