I am trying to install a Firebird server on a reasonably clean Windows 10 machine, but I am running into the gsec "cannot attach to password database" issue.
Details are: Edition: Windows 10 Pro (64-bit system, x64 based processor) Firebird: SuperServer - both 32-bit and 64-bit versions attempted Full error message (64-bit version) when running gsec from a command prompt with administrator privileges: C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_2_5\bin>gsec -user sysdba -password masterkey use gsec -? to get help cannot attach to password database unable to open database Also tried gsec with -database "c:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_2_5\security2.fdb" and -database "localhost:c:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_2_5\security2.fdb" and -database localhost:"c:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_2_5\security2.fdb" Server running as a service (tried both 32-bit and 64-bit - uninstalling and rebooting in between) Service appears to be running correctly. Control panel applet is not installed. FIREBIRD environment variable not set, no Firebirds in either system or user PATH environment variables. I have tried everything I could find on Google without joy, so thank you in advance for any help with this!
