an existing translation. The steps to follow are these:
o The Win32 install files are located in install\arch-specific\win32.
This sub-directory is located as follows:
Firebird 1.5 - firebird2\src
Firebird 2.0 - firebird2\builds
Firebird 2.n - firebird2\builds
o You can use anonymous CVS to checkout the Win32 install kit with these
commands:
o You can use a tool such as TortoiseSVN to checkout the Win32 install
kit. Just open the SVN checkout dialogue and enter something similar
to this Repository URL:
https://firebird.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/firebird/firebird/branch/B2_5_Release/builds/install/arch-specific/win32
or this:
https://firebird.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/firebird/firebird/tags/R2_5_1/builds/install/arch-specific/win32
For 2.1 the equivalent URLs would be:
https://firebird.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/firebird/firebird/branch/B2_1_Release/builds/install/arch-specific/win32
https://firebird.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/firebird/firebird/tags/R2_1_4/builds/install/arch-specific/win32
