Walter, to get it working in my situation (demo on a usb):

1. copied fbembed.dll to application.exe folder.
2. copied firebird.conf to application.exe folder.
3. in firebird.conf point 'RootDirectory' to where embedded files are:

e.g
RootDirectory=E:\VISUAL FOXPRO\SQL_COLEGIO\FBEMBEDDED

4. If using flamerobin then also do (1+2) to flamerobin.exe folder.
5. The FB RootDirectory folder should contain all icu*.dlls
(I also copied other files: msv*.dlls, firebird.msg, until worked)

Good luck,
Tom
