Ok. The "out of memory" is probably some kind of mistakenly reported
error message. The most likely is this :

On Windows 98, your MSVCRT.DLL and / or MSVCP60.DLL are probably not yet
up to date. So during install time, the "instclient.exe" utility fails
installing fbclient.dll and / or gds32.dll to the system directory. This
has been changed for the release, so that this utility does not depend
anymore on these Microsoft DLLs. So it will work wether or not those are
present or not or are of the right version or not.

In-between, re-install, not asking for installing these DLLs (client
library fbclient.dll and gds32.dll) to Windows directory (uncheck them
in the installer).

When the install is done (which will probably ask you to reboot, which
you should agree to do if it offers you to do it), go to the bin
directory of your firebird installation using a command-line prompt :
that will probably be something like c:\program files\firebird_1.5 or
so. Change dir to the subidr "bin" where you can see "instclient.exe".

Now run (as they may have failed during setup) :

instreg install
instclient install fbclient -force
instclient install gds32 -force

Accept to reboot if any of these commands suggest you to do (they will
tell it to you clearly if required).

That will get you up and running.
