Regarding the install problem. I've stripped out the TIB_OleContainer
control. It was way too much headache to be worth it. All future versions
of IBO will have it in the AddOns where it was before.

The other problem has to do with some changes made to acquiring the
addresses of the exported methods in the client library. They remain nil
because there is an assumption if a live connection handle exists that they
export addresses have already be acquired. I need to touch up the code to
cover the case where a live handle is simply handed to the connection
object.

What you will need to do to work around it for now is to make a call with
the connection object that will trigger it to read in the client library
export methods. You could connect it directly, then disconnect it and then
plug in the shared database handle. You may be able to do something more
simple too. Just play with it a little and I'll work on getting this fixed
for the next sub-release.
