Hej, it depends on how and with what options firebird was installed. For
example it may have been an embedded installation, where you have no
real server instance one could locate in the registry.

Another option for installation is a custom directory or a silent
installation from a zip archive.

I suggest to search the file system for gds32.dll and fbclient.dll, that
are the most common files you should find. Also a run for security*.*db
may be of help.


And inspect the registry, search for
- firebird
- interbase
