FYI: Firebird embedded supported on Windows 64 by SEH patch lazarus / 16-Databases ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BigChimp ยท 2013-03-09 08:01 Sergei Gorelkin enabled Win64 SEH support in trunk r23732: * Make Win64 SEH support enabled by default. If necessary to disable, compiler should be cycled with OPT=-dDISABLE_WIN64_SEH. Mantis #24012. Seems this fixes issues on Win64 with e.g. embedded Firebird dlls, and I'm sure many other DLLs. Thanks a lot, Sergei! More info: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Firebird_embedded#Warning:_Windows_ x64
