I don't know dbexpress driver, so I can't compare
but because of firebird.msg is part of fb embed package (as ib_util.dll,
msvcxx.dll, intl directory and so on, and not only fbembed.dll) I don't
really understand why you prefer not copy it

anyway, did you try to put firebird.msg in a directory of your PATH env var?

(by the way, you certainly will have got the same error using IBX, IBO
or other package... i think it is a "feature" of dbexpress driver to not
raise this error)
