Come on, no ideas ?

I managed to install into 2 different directories, put different
parameters in the firebird.conf file, namely

RootDirectory
RemoteServiceName
RemoteServicePort

and wrote a little program that registers the fbserver.exe as a
service in the ServiceManager, under a name of my choice (not
defaultinstance)

But i can't start them at the same time. As soon as one instance is
acitve, the second gets deactivated immediately after it was started.

Any help greatly appreciated.

PS: Working with WinXP and FB 1.5.2 at the moment.
