Almost. Get them also to
1) reboot the system after the cleanout but before installing 1.5.1. This
ensures that there is no gds32.dll still loaded in memory.
2) after the 1.5.1 install, still check that the generated gds32.dll gets
copied into the system dir from the <firebirdroot>\bin dir. The scripts
don't always complete that step.
