Thanks, got it. >See also http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-2719 Seems unrelated...typo? > Deployment rules on Windows is almost the same.

OK. so, it is feasible then to add the location of fbembed.dll to the search path to enable the conditions required by the original poster in this thread? Otherwise, the instructions in the readme file seem like Catch-22, quote: If you want to place the Firebird files (excluding the renamed fbembed.dll) in another directory, you need to modify your firebird.conf and set RootDirectory to the Firebird directory tree. Example: c:\my_app\app.exe c:\my_app\gds32.dll c:\my_app\ib_util.dll c:\my_app\icudt30.dll c:\my_app\icuin30.dll c:\my_app\icuuc30.dll c:\my_app\firebird.conf d:\fb\firebird.msg d:\fb\intl\fbintl.dll c:\fb\intl\fbintl.conf d:\fb\udf\fbudf.dll firebird.conf: RootDirectory = d:\fb Let's suppose the application is written to load fbembed.dll from "somewhere", which is neither the application location nor the top of this tree of Firebird components. -- How does the application find firebird.conf if is not in the same path as fbembed.dll? -- I note you recommended using the FIREBIRD variable but the OP wanted to avoid having to set an envvar in a hands-off install. -- Would a Registry entry work? -- If a Firebird server or another fb embedded were already in situ, would any of these things be expected to work and also to avoid breaking the existing installations?
