I know it's been a while since I've posted on this Group, but current circumstances have brought me back.

Today, I discovered that Microsoft forcibly removed fbserver & fbguard for version 1.5.3.4870. This version is included with SAM Broadcaster v3, which is critical to my work as an "On-Net Personality" on a very popular music stream. There was no warning for it's removal at the Windows 10 Creator's Update "updates" that happened recently. All of the files for Firebird were removed. The application's DB is safe. When trying to re-install Firebird-1.5.3.4870-0-Win32.exe, Windows throws the "This App can't run on your PC" message with "Firebird doesn't work on this version of Windows. An updated app may be available" message and shows buttons with "Learn more" and "Close" I've been running the 1.5.3.4870 build under Windows 10 with *zero* problems up until the last update.

My question (and I'm sorry if I'm asking this before doing any research on my own) is simply, how compatible is the 2.5 version with databases created with 1.5.3?

I'm nearly in panic-mode here, and exploring all options to get this resolved.

Thanks!
