Have you read the installation notes?

"Registry The Registry entries for Firebird (where the server normally looks for the location of the root directory) are ignored. The root directory of the embedded server is the directory above where its binary file (library) is located."
....
Example

/my_app/app.exe
/my_app/gds32.dll
/my_app/firebird.conf
/my_app/fb/firebird.msg
/my_app/fb/intl/fbintl.dll
/my_app/fb/udf/fbudf.dll

firebird.conf:
RootDirectory = /my_app/fb
