Unfortunately, according to ProcessExplorer, DBW has all embedded related libraries loaded from the Embedded directory. E.g.: fb_lock_1faa8dc000000100331f0000 fb_lock_1faa8dc000000100331f0000 fb_trace fbclient.dll Firebird SQL Server Firebird Project 2.5.2.26540 fbintl.DLL Firebird SQL Server Firebird Project 2.5.2.26540 fbtrace.dll Firebird SQL Server Firebird Project 2.5.2.26540 ib_util.dll Firebird SQL Server Firebird Project 2.5.2.26540 ibdac120.bpl Devart 3.60.0.24 icudt30.dll ICU Data DLL IBM Corporation and others 3.0.0.0 icuuc30.dll IBM ICU Common DLL IBM Corporation and others 3.0.0.0 I have also tried to explicitly set the root directory in firebird.conf as stated in the 2.5.2 release notes p. 96 regarding changes in the embedded deployment structure, when the executable is not in the same directory as the embedded library. From my understanding, that change in 2.5.2 was even necessary to have a dedicated embedded directory/installation shared by several applications.
