if you downloaded a file named something similar to
"Firebird-1.5.x.xxxx-x-Win32.exe", then you are running either the
Super Server or Classic Server depending on what you selected during
your setup.

If you downloaded a file named something similar to
"Firebird-1.5.x.xxxx-x_embed_win32.zip", then you are running the
embedded Firebird.

If you are running the embedded Firebird, you should not include a
"Data Source" parameter. Your connect string should probably look like

connStr = "User=SYSDBA;
Password=masterkey;
Database=c:/photography/databaase/csharp/rak-photography;
SystemType=1;";
