Hi Julio,
Yeah, initially I was thinking of building my .exe together with
FirebirdClient. Those other DLLs are my real problem.
Thank you for your feedback everyone.

For the FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.dll you could take a look at
IL Merge to include the assembly inside your .exe file.
The other files seem to be native DLLs so IL Merge won't help you
here. I think you could store those DLLs as resources of the .EXE and
save them to disk once the program has loaded (And before you try to
connect to the database).

C++ was redesigned to this: the peak of its popularity."
