absolutely. There are complex and varying rules about where to load
libraries from in Windows, especially in server editions. That's why I
always specify full paths to LoadLibrary (something like
ExtractFilePath(ParamStr(0)) + 'fbembed.dll') and as an additional
measure I never rename fbembed.dll unless I really have to.
