That's probably because on server installs fbclient.dll is on
<firebird_root>\bin and firebird.msg on parent <firebird_root>

As I said before I've been deploying my apps only with fbclient.dll with NO
problems at all. Why is firebird.msg needed at all?? What problems are
supposed to occurr if it's not present?
