Hi Helen,

I use server and client on my develop-pc.
I know that gds32.dll is the client, but the Install-Readme-Text of
the Snapshoot-Installation is a little missunderstanding:


o Extract all the files from the archive to the current Firebird or
InterBase directory.

---> it includes gds32.dll then:

o In Control Panel

- make sure you have the INTERBASE environment variable defined as a
system variable (not user).

- Prefix your PATH statement with %INTERBASE%\bin


--> then:

o Rename %SYSTEM32%\gds32.dll to %SYSTEM32%\gds32.dll.orig

---> comes after installing, so i thought wrong ......

thank you and sorry

best regards
gerhard
