This is where it gets tough for me but I found the answer to your
question.
I tried to install SPDJ and when the error appeared I went into Task
Managers service tab and found that FirebirdServerDefaultInstance was
running. FirebirdGuardianDefaultInstance was also running. I searched
for "localhost" but did not come up with anything.
A "Sam Party DJ installation Wizzard" screen popped up with "Database
login details for Firebird" on it. Access mode is set to "Local
Server". The remote server settings for Host is set to "localhost".
Port is set to "3050". Username and Password were filled in.
