How to install Firebird ODBC Drivers

The Firebird ODBC drivers may obtain from http://www.firebirdsql.org/ I haven't try the Windows Full Install .exe file yet. The following are steps for manual installation. The following files are needed:
  1. IscDbc.dll
  2. OdbcJdbc.dll
  3. OdbcJdbcSetup.dll
  4. OdbcJdbc.chm
Try your best to download these files and keep in a folder. For example: c:\temp Then go to cmd prompt to perform Manual Install
cd c:\temp %windir%\system32\RegSvr32.EXE .\OdbcJdbcSetup.dll
Manual Uninstall
cd c:\temp %windir%\system32\RegSvr32.EXE /u .\OdbcJdbcSetup.dll
Always set full path for RegSvr32.EXE and always set .\ before OdbcJdbcSetup.dll After finish install, you may go to Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Data Sources (ODBC) | Drivers to make sure the Firebird ODBC Driver has installed.
