Subject FB 1.5.5 Installer fails to install Firebird Guardian service on Windows
Author Eric Hawkes
Hi,

I am upgrading my application from using Firebird 1.5.3 to 1.5.5.
However, I can't get the Guardian service to install.

To simplify the problem, I uninstalled firebird 1.5.3 from my
development box (Windows XP) by running unins000.exe from the
command line. Then I manually deleted the entire firebird folder.

Then I installed firebird 1.5.5 like this:

C:\>"c:\Program Files\tmp"\Firebird-1.5.5.4926-3-Win32.exe /verysilent
/COMPONENTS="SuperServerComponent,ServerComponent,DevAdminComponent,ClientComponent"

/dir="c:\Program Files\firebird" /NORESTART

After installing, I have one service running:
Firebird Server - Default Instance
but not the Firebird Guardian service.

There is no firebird.log file.

When I use exactly the same procedure with Firebird 1.5.3,
the Guardian service _does_ get installed.

How can I get the install the Guardian service for Firebird 1.5.5?

Thanks,

Eric
