You can stop FB by running:

net stop FirebirdGuardianDefaultInstance
net stop FirebirdServerDefaultInstance

The installed version can be gleaned from
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\FBDBServer_1_5_is1

The key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Firebird Project\Firebird Server\Instances

would be missing in that case
