Packing your app and the DLL in the same folder is much easier, especially when having multiple applications using different versions of Firebird. Your solution is the same; the dll evaluates the current working path from the app, and not from itself. You also need to place your .conf file in the same directory as your app.

Once I placed the exe in the same folder where fbembed.dll resides, it started working.
