Firebird 32bit vs. 64bit

[douglaskeene]

Howdy
I have successfully installed and used 32bit Firebird and have connected with IBDAC components. I use Delphi XE, 32 bit. I would rather use Firebird 64 bit, so I uninstalled 32 bit and installed 64 bit. I try to load the fb dll and it gives me an error. Is this because it's a 64 bit dll in a 32 bit environ? I am using win7 pro 64 bit.
Do I need to reinstall the 32 bit dll?
Thanks
Doug

Hello,

Delphi XE is 32-bit and can produce only 32-bit applications. That is why you cannot use 64-bit libraries in any application that is developed with Delphi XE.
To develop 64-bit applications, you should use Delphi XE2 or higher. For more information about 64-bit development in Delphi XE2, please refer to our blog at http://www.devart.com/blogs/dac/index.p ... evelopment
