Fair enough, re-read this thread.

I have been using FB embedded for some years for my shareware
application and never had problems installing it based on the
instructions given.

- I would suggest not to use gds32.dll but use fbclient.dll, eliminates
potential conflict with Interbase.
- what dev environment are you using? I use Python with the kinterbasdb
DB API for Firebird, it had a problem at some point that if another
version of FB was installed in the system folders (I believe it was in
windows/system32 but not sure) it found that version instead of the one
I installed in my application folder.

Currently I use FB 2.1.0.17798 and have in my app folder:

fbclient.dll
firebird.conf
firebird.msg
intl - folder
udf - folder

Won't use 2.1.3 as I plan to switch to 2.5 pretty soon.

Hope this is more helpful
Werner
