Not true. I have 100+ installations of my main app, where only the
fbclient.dll is included, and they all work just fine in Windows 2000, XP
and Vista.

Also, unlike Helen said, at least with the latest IBO versions you do NOT
have to rename the dll to fbembedded.dll - fbclient.dll will do just fine
for the actual embedded server dll.


I suspect an old IBO version here, though...
