I wrote an NSIS script for installing Firebird 2.1 a long time ago that
may be of interest to you. I posted it on this list under the thread
"Including Silent Install of Firebird in InstallShield installer".
Although an NSIS script, it shows the switches required to drive the
Firebird 2.1 installer and may be helpful for FB2.5 if it uses the same
installer. Called by the main application installer it allows the user
to select a client and/or server install, and then the installer just
quietly gets on with installing the necessary components.

Incidentally, I also adopted FB as a progression from an Access-based
database application (in order to add reliable multi-user access to the
database).

Regards,

Robert.
