I have to make some modifications in old application in Delphi6.
At customer the application runs on Windows7 32bit and there was a Firebird 2.5.1 superserver.
I decided to replace this Firebird with last snapshot 2.5.9.27152.
Because there is no installer I also manually copied new fbclient.dll into c:\windows\system32 and also as a gds32.dll.
My application then stopped working with exception message "InterBase library gds32.dll not found in the path. Please install InterBase to use this functionality."
(I can see similar problem in application IB_ISQL.)
If I return old gds32.dll 2.5.1 or gds32.dll from official build 2.5.9.27139 then everything works.
Is there please any explanation for this?

Explanation is simple: renamed fbclient.dll is not the same as gds32.dll generated by instclient utility.

Next time use maillist for support questions.

I'm sorry for bothering you and I'm also sorry for not using maillist but I still think this might be some bug.
Two reasons:

[1] The renaming of fbclient.dll to gds32.dll from other version works well. (I remember I've done this before.)

[2] I'm not C++ programmer but when I briefly look into source codes of instclient (the most interesting is install.cpp I think) I can see that only difference between fbclient.dll and gds32.dll is version number. (?)

If I could bet then it looks similar to CORE3442

There is no bug to fix.
Please, use instclient and\or coninue asking for support at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/firebird-support
