You have to 'install' FB 2.0 manually (via instsvc.exe), but for better work
get instsvc from FB 2.1 - it allows to choose own service name.

I have FB 1.5 running on default port 3050 and FB 2.01 running on port 3060.
It was fairly simple to configure it but with help of instsvc from FB 2.1 -
I have installed both manually
and FB 1.5 service is 'Firebird 1.5' and FB 2.01 service is 'Firebird 2'
