Subject Firebird Client on Win 95 (cannot load GDS32.DLL )
Author enricorav
Hi to all,
i have some problems with Win95 client & gds32.dll.

When my application try to connect to the FireBird server i see the
message:
- Interbase client GDS32.dll are not installed

or, with another machine (also win95):
- ... cannot load GDS32.dll ...

I have search a lot into newsgroups or manuals and i found some
articles on gds32.dll and:
- msvcrt.dll
- msvcrt40.dll

I have try the solution described into this articles but nothing
change.

Then i have found this message into this newsgroup (msg # 12278):

What does it mean ? There are some TCP/IP stack upgrade to do on
Win95 PC ?
Why some Win 95 PC work fine and other don't work with the same
versione of GDS32.dll?
