Known installation problems

o It is not possible to use the binary installer

o It is only possible to use the binary installer
to install the default instance of Firebird 2.1. If
you wish to install additional, named instances you
should manually install them with the zipped install
image.
o Unfortunately, (at the time of Beta 2) the installer

instance name for 32-bit and 64-bit installed. This
is by design. If an attempt is made to install (for
example) the 32-bit version and the 64-bit version
simultaneously using the default instance name
instsvc will see the location of the first version
to be installed and continue to use it. This means
that it will restart the original service at the
end of installation.
- If the 32-bit and 64-bit control panel applets are
installed they will both point to the same default
