I've downloaded (and installed) the trial version, but I can't use it:

I tried to create a new connection using the Delphi Data Explorer; but
when I try to configure the connection I get the following errors:

Delphi 2007:
System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type
'IbeDbxFbManaged.TIbeDbxDriverLoader' to type
'Borland.Data.TDBXDriverLoader'.

Delphi 2009:
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly
'IbeMethodTable, Version=1.0.0.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'
or one of its dependencies. Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht
finden.

Then I tried to create a connection without Data Explorer by just
setting the Properties of SQLConnection:

As soon as I set "Connected := True" in Object Inspector I get an error:

Invalid Package Handle (both D2007 and D2009)

At runtime I get:

Die Anwendung konnte nicht gestartet werden, weil fbclient.dll nicht
gefunden wurde. Neuinstallation der Anwendung könnte das Problem beheben.

followed by:

Project Project1.exe raised exception class EResNotFound with message
'Resource THUMB not found'.

Please assist :-)

TIA
