I remember very well when I myself first installed interbase 5.6 >20 years ago, and lost a few hours searching for default SYSDBA password (masterkey). Now it looks funny, that time I was close to uninstall and forget about interbase. That's why I insist on having as descriptive as possible error message when something gone a bit wrong during installation.

Since then you and Firebird grown up a bit. You become to be able to fix installation process so it never go wrong. Firebird shifted aim to enterprice market with higher DBA entry level. If by default SRP is not initialized then by default it must not be in list of auth plugins and vice versa if it is in the default list, it must be always ready to work.

ie one gets:

Your user name and password are not defined. Ask your database administrator to 
set up a Firebird login.
Install incomplete, please read the Compatibility chapter in the release notes 
for this version

That's possible on my mind.

But still SRP plugin should not block plugins' chain if it hasn't found its structures. Other auth plugins also should take a chance.
