If it's the same application code, then check on the standalone machine,
whether you have a gds32.dll in your system directory. If so, rename it
and try to run your app afterwards. If you can't rename it, then you
already have it loaded and won't be able to rename it until you reboot the
machine.

msvcp60.dll wouldn't have been on your Win2K machine unless you had
previously installed an application or utility, e.g. Norton Pro, that
installed it sliently. It's the M$ C++ runtime. It needs to go into the
system directory, along with fbclient.dll renamed as gds32.dll (for IBO) or
regenerated (using the fbclient.exe program) as gds32.dll (for IBX).

Alternatively, the transmogrified gds32.dll can go directly into the
application directory.
