Hello,

tried to get this to work with two different Client applications, and did not get it to work.  

Might be the bugs in these client apps, but could not create a database with them. Tried to use TCP/IP protocol to 127.0.0.1 server. And there was Could not establish connection error.

Should or could this work?

Hello,

 

it is possible to connect a 32 bit Client Application with an 32 bit fbclient.dll with a 64 bit server.

It is also a “must” to use 32 bit fbclient in 32 bit Applications.

Did You try to connect to embedded server? Can You write the exact error message, please.

 

Regards

Mathias

Thanks for info,

I know I must use a 32-bit client dll.

I'll get back to this later. Is there some app that is known to work in this situation. So I could test a known app, if it works, I could make a bug report to the authors of the Apps.

I have a lot of 32 bit applications that uses a 64 bit server.

You can try flamerobin 32 bit (https://github.com/mariuz/flamerobin/releases/tag/0.9.3.11) But You don’t need to write a bug report to an external app developer if You know the expected function should work, but in Your case / environment it does not work.

Please write Your exact error message.

Your post was about installing Firebird 4 on Windows XP IIRC, that would
be a different problem.
