I remember I "lost" the IPCServer for Firebird 1.5.4 on Win2k when I installed MS Visual Studio EA v.2003 - ages ago, before we even started to encounter any of these quirks from the Tuesday updates. The "typical" install of that product installed a zillion horrors on my development box...all I actually wanted was the IDE and the C# compiler!!
