I think this is probably the correct behaviour for Win7. I can certainly reproduce it. OTOH, if you access the database via tcp everything is OK. I created a test user with basic permissions and placed all the required files in C:\Users\test\fbtest. After starting fbserver as an application this command: C:\Users\test\fbtest>isql -u SYSDBA -p masterkey localhost:employee works fine for me.
