Root directory for windows embedded was changed according to this ticket : http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-1814 See also http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-2719 > From your comment on this thread, it seems at least *unclear* now, how the > deployment > structure should be in v.2.5.
