Note that the 64 bit version of gds32.dll/fbclient.dll goes into
C:\Windows\system32
and the 32 bit version would go into C:\Windows\SysWow64
This seems backward, but hey it's microsoft...
It's been a while since I did a fresh install of Firebird but I
think the option to create a gds32.dll should still be a checkbox
here?
(Screen shot is from an older install of 2.5)
So you can install firebird an do not check off this option,
then go into the firebird installation directory\bin and
find fbclient.dll, copy that to the executable directory where
you are testing against Firebird, and rename it to gds32.dll
I do NOT know if there are any implications to installing
Firebird on the same machine as the delphi7 and IBX stack though
Firebird creates a couple of registry entries that will not likely
confilict
and for the service assuming to use that option
