As far as I'm aware Firebird DDEX Provider 3.0.2 only support Visual
Studio 2005-2015, so Visual Studio 2017 is not supported by the installer.

There is a workaround, see:

- http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/DNET-739
-
https://www.tabsoverspaces.com/233604-installing-ddex-provider-for-firebird-into-visual-studio-2017

If you run into more problems, I suggest that you subscribe to the
firebird-net-provider mailing list and ask for more help there.
