Step 1. Install FirebirdClient into the GAC.
Note: GAC is the Global Assembly Cache
Gacutil is a command line tool that helps load information into this GAC
To start Gacutil
Click [start]
[all programs]
[Microsoft VS2010]
[visual studio tools]
[visual studio Command prompt (2010)]
Type gacutil [enter]
You will see all the available switches type gacutil /? To see more
detailed help
To install the dll file you saved in STEP 0: I saved the DDEX files to
E:/downloads/firebird it will be different for you
Eg type gacutil /i
E:/downloads/firebird/Firebirdsql.Visualstudio.Datatools.dll /f
You should get a message saying "assembly successfully added to the
cache"
If you don't check the spelling and the location of the file is correct
To find the signature of the Assembly :
Type gacutil /lr Firebirdsql.Visualstudio.Datatools
If the assembly was installed correctly gacutil will return something
like this
The global Assembly cach contains the following assemblies:
Firebirdsql.Visualstudio.Datatools, version=2.0.4.0, culture =
neutral, publickeytoken=bae6c78ccb0fcdb3, processorArchitecture=MSIL
Number of Items = 1

OK now to Step 2 : Modify The machine Config
To do this you'll be editing a file called machine.config with notepad.
I did a search for this file on my machine and I could not find it. I
did find this though..
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.21006\Config\machine.config.defa
ult
I'll try that and see if it works.

When confronted with criticism, you can react in either of two ways:
1. "Aha, maybe there's room for improvement, and this is a great
opportunity to find out where and how."
2. "This is a moron who doesn't understand anything or just can't read
instructions. I'll ignore him."
Which one is better?
