Your instructions helped! I was using the fbclient.dll from the server,
instead of the fbembed.dll (and renaming it to fbclient.dll).

Ibconsole and isql both work. After starting ibconsole, I am prompted to
start the server. You have to click 'Yes' (even if this is the embedded
version). After clicking Yes ibconsole complains that "Interbase Server is
not installed on your system" - this because of the missing
KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Borland\Interbase keys. Thats ok though, it attachs to
the db just fine after that.
