Did you uninstall RC 6 first? Have you tried uninstalling RC7 and
re-installing?

The guardian really should start the server. If it isn't then something is
wrong. I suspect this will be fixed by uninstallation, reboot, verification
that the system is clean, followed by a fresh install.

Verifying the system is clean is probably the only tricky bit. You should
check the bin dir was deleted. If it wasn't then the service was still
installed at uninstall time. You could check to see if services are still
referenced in HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services in the registry. You
should also check for the HKLM\Software\Firebird Project\Firebird Server
\Instances key. That too should be empty/non-existent. Finally, you should
look in the <sys> dir for the gds32.dll.

A clean uninstall should leave almost trace of Firebird on the system apart
from a few files in the installation directory. These are the security
database, the log file, the config file and the alias file.

If the uninstall was incomplete for any reason let us know. Otherwise, you
should be OK to do the re-install. And everything should then work as
expected.
