I have tried to install the latest Win32 installer for FB 4 on Windows XP.  I get an invalid 32 bit application error.

Firebird Server v4 is not supported on WinXP, only client.

Are there any plans to do this?  I have a large XP install base.

Windows XP is desupported by Microsoft so no plans for it. Any reason why you
cannot replace it with Linux?

Any reason to migrate these servers to Firebird 4?..
Hosting a database server on a workstation OS is doubtful in any case.

No. Three is sufficient. I am trying to move them from XP along with the app that uses firebird. A migration from XP, Delphi 6, IBodjects, FB 2.5.9.

Sticking with the Windows stack.

I actually managed to run FB4 server (latest version) on windows XP. But not trough installer. Extract the zip file and start the service.
