On my development machine I have several different versions of Firebird (2.1, 2.5, 3.0 when I find the time to test it ...). The Windows installer is unable to install more that one instance on one PC. instsvc is very helpful to install, uninstall, start and stop the various services for software tests. On customer machines it's very fast when I want to upgrade Firebird to the next version (e.g. from 2.5.3 to 2.5.4): instsvc stop - replace files - instsvc start - Done. I don't even know what "PowerShell and the New-Service etc. cmdlets" is. Sounds complicated. I have instsvc, so why should I bother? > P.S. I ask because in 15+ years I don't think I more than 10 times. Then you obviously do other things with Firebird than me. That's fine.
