In the property sheet of fbclient.dll and fbembed.dll, there is no way to tell whether the library is 32-bit or 64-bit. There are several reasons why it is important for a troubleshooter or an end-user to be able to get this information. The Windows property sheet has two fields 'File Version' and 'Product Version' that currently hold identical data, viz., the build number. I suggest 'File Version' could be used to designate the bitness.

Determining bitness of all the binaries is a problem, not just for the DLLs. Perhaps the bitness should be added to the properties of all binaries.

Rather than the File Version, I would suggest that the 'File Description' or 'Product Name' would be more suitable.
