Hi folks,


I am trying to deploy the FirebirdSql.Data.Bdp assembly to a non-development
machine which currently has an Firebird 1.5.2 SuperServer install.

I have a BdpConnection which when called on this machine throws an exception
about not being able to GetTypes information from the assembly.

I have used Reflector to find any required libraries, and all are seemingly
present. I was surprised to find references to FbEmbed.dll in the FbClient
class, but I then went and installed that DLL in the \System32 and still I
get the error. I am assuming I have missed some other required deployable
file, but I don't know what it is. Could someone please help me with some
ideas/options. :)

I find it a little strange, so I grabbed a little error report for inclusion
here:
