Subject OPERATING SYSTEM DIRECTIVE CREATEFILE FAILED
Author lfkauer
Hi,

I have an application that uses the firebird embeded dll
(fbclient.dll) and it was deployed on custumer's computers with
different versions of Windows.
A few of them have reported the following error when trying to use
this application on Windows 98 and Windows Me:
"OPERATING SYSTEM DIRECTIVE CREATEFILE FAILED".
In some cases, updating the MSVCRT.DLL e MSVCP60.DLL solved the
problem.
But in a few others, it didn't.
The interesting thing is that if you install the firebird server and
connect to the database through the server than it runs ok.
But even with the server installed (which could update or install the
system files), the same error occurs if we try to connect through the
dll instead of the server.
Does anybody have a clue?

Thank you,

Luis Fernando
