I have read many articles on UDFs in this group but none seem to deal with
how to install the dll. I need to install a UDF dll with my app install. I
don't want the user to have to copy a dll to the right place. I will make a
separate install for the server and the client. But how do I get the path
to the FB area on the server that the user used? Granted, they will most
likely use the defaults but as soon as I say that, someone won't. And what
if in the future the directory name for FB changes like it has a few times
in the past? I thought the FB install created a Firebird environment
variable to designate this path but I don't see one in my installs.
Thanks.
