Using fbclient.dll in Firebird 2.1.X in fresh install Windows XP that never install with Microsoft C++ 2005 Redistrubable will cause problem.
I wish to deploy my application that contain fbclient.dll and all related Microsoft C++ 2005 redistributable libraries without installing the redistributable libraries. Can I do that? I am running the application in limited account. Install the VC++ redistributable is not an option here.
My application is developed with Delphi using LoadLibrary to load the fbclient.dll
It’s possible to just copy the MSVC runtime into your application directory.
However, a standard installer would be better for automatic updates. And the installer will run under an administrator account, so your limited account is not a problem.
