hi all,

to add to the VcRedist hell, we must consider what one has to do when using Firebird embedded. The following has been
found by personal research and trial and error and needs to be confirmed by someone more expert:

Firebird 2.04 or lower: only in Windows 9x, ME, NT4, 2000
simply copy msvcp71.dll and msvcr71.dll in the same folder of executable program and fbclient.dll

Firebird 2.1.0 or higher: only in Windows XP or higher
Windows XP, Windows 2003 server: Installation with VcRedist.exe is compulsory
Windows Vista: simply copy Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest, msvcp80.dll and msvcr80.dll in the same folder of executable
program and fbclient.dll

Please, can you confirm the correctness of the above for Firebird embedded?

Thank you
Salvatore
