Yes, in the registry you need a key pointing to the root directory of your
installation. It should be:
HKLM\Software\FirebirdSQLFirebird\CurrentVersion and in there three fields:

(Default) REG_SZ (value not set)
RootDirectory REG_SZ C:\Program Files\Firebird [on my setup]
Version REG_SZ WI-T1.5.0.3473 Firebird 1.5 Release Candidate 3

You should also look at InstallNotes.txt in the $RootDirectory\doc
directory, and go to sourceforge for Dmitry's notes about embedded server:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/firebird/firebird2/doc/README.user.embedded

This thread is masquerading as an IBO topic. It isn't an IBO
topic. You're experimenting with Firebird beta software. Go to the
obvious places where beta testers can find readme-type stuff - sourceforge
and the firebird-devel archives - after that, if you still have problems,
you should raise your questions where they belong - in firebird-devel.

Here on this list we are interested in ***IBO things*** that don't work the
way you expect, once you've figured out how to connect and communicate with
a database and have tried to run an IBO application.

Thanks.
