Firebird embedded database on Win 98

When using the Firebird database (version 1.5) on windows 98, or (specifically) when deploying applications using the Firebird database to computers with Windows 98.
Problem : 'no dynamic link library "fbclient.dll" found'
  • For win98, first edition : replace \windows\system32\msvcrt.dll by the version fo msvcrt.dll provided in Firebird 1.5 bin-dir in the installation directory.
  • For all versions of windows 98 : put msvcp60.dll which is in the Firebird install dir in the application directory.
