Msvcr80.dll then Runtime errors...

Wow, now I'm worried if I decide not to use Firebird anymore!
What I would try to do is to install Firebird 2.5, then to open PVD, and if everything went ok, I would make a backup of it, then uninstall PVD, then Firebird, then install PVD and try to restore backuped database.
What else I would do if I were you is to try to export your database and then import it into new one.
What I have to say is that I use a backup of my database locally on several remote computers without Firebird and without any problem. I modify it on those computers, backup it, and then restore it on whatever computer.

So Nostra addressed my problem and after a few posting here he gave me the solution, put the 2.1 firebird files in my pvd directory.
This worked perfectly and i could finally open my database without Firebird.
Now with this new version of PVD it looks like the solution does not sort my problem (I'm getting an SQL error when opening my file)
--- End quote ---
Sounds like new version of firebird is compatible with old data files but old firebired is not compatible with new data files.
The solutions for which are
1) continue to put new firebird 2.1 files PVD directory
2) Convert firebird 2.1 data files back to older format
3) Nostra update version of firebird used in standard PVD package.
I suspect 1) is easiest till 3) is done (which I suspect will be required at some time for nostra's convenience)

Does this really have anything to do with the database file? I thought the problem had something to do with how the DLL files involved are registered in Windows. In other words, Windows—as a result if a previous installation of Firebird server—is preventing PVD from using the embedded version. Thus the workaround of providing the DLL file Windows is now expecting to find.
I would be shocked and dismayed to learn we've been advising people to use Firebird server without warning them this would render their database forever unusable with Firebird embedded. I do understand this appears to be a situation where the effect seems to be the same. But if the source of the problem is the Windows configuration, then that's where the solution lies. If the problem goes away if and when Firebird embedded is updated, fine. But in the meantime (and, I don't know, maybe that won't resolve the problem), I would try installing Firebird 2.5 and using the server. Based on my experience, I don't believe any noticeable or otherwise significant resource or performance issues will result from doing so. I'll defer to any expert on the matter, but, for all I know, the server may be more efficient than the embedded version.
Not only might using the server version resolve this problem, but maybe something has changed in the last six months that would allow deazo to install and use PvdImport. There has, for example, been a new major release of PvdImport. I find it heart-breaking to think there is any serious user of PVD and MC is foregoing the opportunity to integrate PVD with their media manager. :'(

To all,
Patch: Replacing firebird files by 2.1 files does not solve the problem as I am getting an SQL error when trying to open my database. It used to work with the previous pvd version.
Buah: I have installed firebird and re-installed pvd 16. The database opens fine, and I created a backup. Then I uninstalled firebird and PVD, re-installed PVD and tried to restore the previously created backup. I received an error message "expected backup version 1,2,3,4,5,6 or 7. Found 8." Whatever that means....?
The conclusion here is that my database is at the moment unusable without firebird services running. Yes Rick I know the services are not particularly demanding but I am using pvd on two computers and really don't want to be running unnecessary services, especially on the one supposed to play high quality videos.
Also after trying a few time pvdimport and MC with no success I reported my attention to XBMC, which is not perfect but looks good for my wife and guests ;) so I want to keep it for now.
Maybe Nostra would know what I need to manipulate in my database file in order to have it open without firebird, or with the 2.1 firebird files in pvd directory?
FYI, pvd16 opens my old database files (test files and so on) with no problem so really there must be something in the file.
I have posted a reduced database file in one of my post for you to test out. Let me know if you need it again.
If that is not possible, does anyone know how to import a pvd database into pvd? XML is fine but what about posters and so on?
I would not mind doing that. (I would use the old pvd14 to generate the export files and pvd16 to import them, is that possible?)
In the meantime I shall run firebird on both my PC's because I need to update many movies and enjoy the new features Nostra has designed for us all. :P
Hope you can help.

Deazo,
I don't know what that error message means, but it's not SQL error any more, right? For now, what I'm able to conclude based on your last post is that you didn't follow step by step my previous post, meaning what version of Firebird to install, and in what order what and when to uninstall and install. Also, I would try fbembeded and fbclient files from Firebird 2.5 package.
Please don't be offended if you did all step by step, but I'm just trying to help here, and how you described it here I'm unsure of it.
