The version that is stored in your Firebird \bin directory is fine but it
needs to be in the system directory. I recently installed Firebird on a
brand-new installation of Win2K (and the Win2K install didn't install those
libraries at all). When I installed Firebird, the msvcrt.dll that is in
the Firebird \bin directory was not found and I had the same problem you
had. I copied msvcrt.dll and msvcp60.dll from there to to the system
directory and all was fine.

You won't be able to do this if you have versions of these libraries
installed already and being used by another application. You need to shut
down and then, during bootup, press F8 and select "safe mode". Then you
should be able to copy the two libraries into c:\winnt\system32.
