Question

I have a Delphi program which uses dbexpress to connect to a Firebird database.
When I run it on my computer within IDE workks fine. When I place the executable in a sepatare folder with the dbx4fb.dll, which is how I would like to deploy it, it
fails to find the dll.

Is there any way of telling the pogram where to find dbx4fb.dll or at least knowing
where it is trying o load from?

What I have tried:

I've tried placing the dbx4fb.dll in the Windows\System32 folder and even the
SysWOW64 folder although my program is 64 bit.

If your dll placed in system32 / exe folder then it loads, Please specify the error / behavior to understand better.

Check the "current directory" setting.

Still makes no difference - Works in design by setting the connection to true
but not in run time.
