1. The path setup of the embedded installation - see 1.5 release notes.
2. In IBO, the location of the client library. fbembed.dll has to be
found instead of gds32.dll. There's a proper technique for this - ask on
the IBO list.
3. On Win98 and WinME, you'll almost certainly need to install msvcp60.dll
and possibly also msvcrt.dll.
