Subject Windows client deployment for Firebird 1.5
Author sbussinger
I've been looking all over the place for details on how to deploy a
Firebird client to a new Windows machine. I'm sure this must be
explained somewhere but I can't seem to find it on the website or in
the archive of this mailing list. The documentation for Interbase
explains it but other messages I've read imply that it's not really
valid for FB 1.5. Can someone point me to some documentation
somewhere?

I'd prefer to load the libraries local to my application rather than
in the Windows System directory if possible. Some messages implied
that all I need is the current GDS32.DLL and FBCLIENT.DLL files I can
get from the server installation and that I can put them in the same
directory as my application. Is that accurate?

What about INTERBASE.MSG and MSVCRT.DLL mentioned in the Interbase
documentation? Are they no longer needed? What about any required
registry entries? What about the modifications to the SERVICES file
that I've seen mentioned? Anything I've missed here?

Thanks for either the pointer to the documentation or the
explanations! Be seeing you.
