I wrote an article about how to make a personal minimum installation
app for IB/FB for a Brazilian Delphi magazine.

I have implemented a Delphi application to show the whole proccess,
including all the checks it must do when installing. The code is open
source and can be downloaded using the following URL :

http://paginas.terra.com.br/lazer/bootlegs/ibbr/IBFB_MinInstall.zip

Sorry for the portuguese comments in the code, but it is very easy to
understand.

If anyone makes any enhancements to the code please send it to me so I
can update it.

FA> Hi,

FA> Installing Firebird is quite of easy. You just have to copy some
FA> files, write 1 registry entry, start a service, copy a DLL on each
FA> client. You can go to http://ibinstall.defined.net/ to see some
FA> example / papers. Try for example to download the Wise install
FA> script, it is easy to understand. An alternative is also to download
FA> the official installation script from sourceforge
