Hi,

We are distributing a Windows application based on Interbase/BDE.
Currently we use the IB6.0 installer from ibinstall.defined.net. That
installer is embedded in our own installer. Now we like to move to
Firebird 1.5, but I have a problem:

Our own installer is providing the user the option to choose between
client+server-install or client-only install. In our current
installer we pass the appropriate flags to the interbase installer so
that the server components are only installed when necessary.

I couldn't find these options in the standard Firebird installer. I
did find a /silent switch which silently installs the server.

Since our application uses the BDE, I think we need to have the
gds32.dll installed into <<system>>. I figured that this can be done
by running the instclient.exe after installation. So for the server
install all should be fine.

But is there any way to have the default Firebird installer install
the firebird client + administration tools (we need gbak) only? It
would just be a matter of running it silently with different options
checked by default.

Thanks for any help,
Joost
