> I busy migrating from an old release of firebird to version 2.5. So on the dbms server I have PHP using FBClient, however, I have a number of services running for my application that need to be converted. As these services access the database via GDS32.dll I am making the assumption that installing the 2.5 GDS32 along with FBClient in the system32 directory should be ok in the sense that these dlls are just talking to the firebird server via a port.

Just fine. There are a bunch of applications out there, which still
expect gds32.dll in some way, thus Firebird offers both.
