2.0 RC3 install: gds32.dll in %system% folder not updated [CORE839] #1227

Commented by: @pcisar Confirmed. Actually, GDS32.DLL is handled very poorly. It's not updated when it already exists, and it's never uninstalled (even if it IS created by install), it's simply left behind. It seems that this issue isn't specific for 2.0, but for 1.5.x as well (tested with 1.5.3). Because GDS32.DLL is never uninstalled (even by 1.5.3), we have potentially very dangerous situation here, as GDS32.DLL would never be updated by 2.0 install, even when previous version would be correctly uninstalled first. |

Commented by: @dyemanov Guys, please comment it clear - is this a regression or not? I.e. should we fix it in RC4? |

Commented by: @reevespaul It certainly needs looking at. Currently I have next Monday (24th July) set aside to find the cause of the problem and fix it, if required. |

Commented by: @pcisar It's not a regression, but it should be fixed for RC4. In current situation, users that still have to use GDS32.DLL and would upgrade from 1.5 to 2.0 would silently end with old GDS32.DLL from 1.5. This is simply unacceptable. |

(Firebird 1.5.3 already installed)
When installing Firebird 2.0, the existing gds32.dll in the \windows\system32 folder is not updated.
Specifically, running this command for a slient install will not update gds32.dll (but I also tried manual/interactive install which also failed to update gds32.dll):
Firebird-2.0.0.12710-0-Win32.exe /sp- /verysilent /noicons /components="ClientComponent" /nocpl /norestart /force
