Firdbird Embeded Server Question

[atulparmar]

A Very simple application just uses sales table from employee.fdb and displays in the grid. It works fine on the machine where it is compiled. But if i move it to another machine it shows No dynamic library from the list fbclient.dll (or gds32.dll) found.

I have tried to put the library in the application folder, and windows\system folder but it shows the same msg.

I have tried this with zeos and interbase component. both report the same.

I trust you are really using the embedded version of fbclient.dll. If you are sure, check that:

1) You have indeed renamed the file to gds32.dll. A safer approach is to have two copies of the same dll in the application directory - one named fbclient.dll and the other gds32.dll (for Interbase legacy compatibility).

2) That the dll files is in the same folder as the application's .exe on whatever machine the application is installed. Do not put it in any other directory - not even in the Windows system directory.

If you do these checks and you're sure you've done the right thing, do let us know.

By the way, how did you build the Installer for your application? You should use InstallShield Express.

Yes I renamed it and tried after making two copies of it but it still has the same problem. the second one also does not help at all.

One thing i would like to emphasize is that i have not make any installer for it. coz as the embeded documeantation says it does not require any registry or any thing else.

here is what i've done

Plz. also note that i've tested on win98. where no delphi or anything is installed. just 98.
