Beside the ICU DLLs, I also agree with Adriano that zlib1.dll should
be installed during a Client install.
I would go further and install chacha.dll too. Currently installer
doesn't install chacha.dll during a Client install, and this doesn't
makes sense since chacha is the default wire encryption algorithm in
FB 4.
IMHO, default option would be to install all files needed to make a
complete client installation, meaning that user would be able to use
all official supported features (compression, chacha, etc) being sure
that everything will work as expected (ie: no risk to have any kind of
problem due to missing files).
If nobody objects, I'll open a ticket for this.
One detail - this should not be called "minimum client install".
This should be called "default install", and _minimum_ one should behave
almost like now - but tzdata is also not needed.
Hi!
I see Firebird 4.0 Windows Installer does not copy the ICU dlls when
doing a client+tools or minimum client install. Speaking with Adriano,
it seems that having tzdata files are not enough to assure that all
time zones conversions will be handled correctly. For that, ICU dlls
are needed too.

So, I think installer should install them during client installs.
Comments?
