I would detect if is a 64 bit os first
http://forum.codecall.net/pascal-delphi-tutorials/33960-how-detect-windows-64bit-delphi-code.html
Then if so detect where firebird is installed
(if is in 32 bit reserved path or in 64 bit area)

One more check would be to check if firebird is really a 64bit process

TODO:Maybe the api should show it somewhere like in the the version case
SELECT rdb$get_context('SYSTEM', 'ENGINE_64BITS') from rdb$database;
1/0 in 2.5
True/False 3.x
