Hello Sivakumar,

You may need some Visual Studio runtime DLLs.  I recall the message you see is
produced when they're absent.  See
www.firebirdsql.org/devel/doc/rlsnotes/html/install210.htm(though Firebird site
seems down at the moment).  http://www.destructor.de/firebird/minimumclient.htm
also explains.
