The short answer is that no work has been done to support installing the
guardian on Win9x. No-one on the Firebird project seems to be using
Win95 or Win98. If they are, they are keeping quiet about it.

The guardian should run. Check the registry for entries like this:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Borland\InterBase\CurrentVersion]
"RootDirectory"="v:\\firebird\\"
"Version"="WI-V6.2.794 Firebird 1.0"
"ServerDirectory"="v:\\firebird\\bin\\"
"GuardianOptions"="1"

You are probably missing the last entry - GuardianOptions.

If it isn't there try adding it and let us know how you get on.
