Setup with IB-Server-Installation

Exists a way to include the installation of IB-Local-Server in my own
Setup-Programm. I'm using IB 6.01

BTW, is there actually a difference between Local-Server and
Normal-Server ?

"Local server" is a term normally used to describe a version of IB that will
not accept remote connections. For detailed information on installing IB see
ibinstall.defined.net.

Do you happen to know if a 'Local Server' version will except
LocalHost:C:\mygdb.gdb?  I was considering deploying the 'Destop
Version' for a couple of standalone apps, but as they are multi-
threaded, this go me thinking.

No, I don't. I would try it but I don't have a copy of the local server to
test with. Perhaps someone else does.

I don't either, but I would hope that it would except <servername>:c:
\db.gdb as long as <servername> resolved to the local machine.

Nope, InterBase Desktop (AKA Local Server, Local InterBase) won't accept
a connection to localhost. You have to make a local connection to
InterBase Desktop, and using a server name, even localhost, makes it a
remote connection.

So multi-threaded desktop applications require a sever licence then?

        Some of the threading problems WRT local connections were fixed in
IB 6.5 to allow asynchronous cancellation on a local connection.  
However, this is not the same as saying it's definitely safe to do
multithreaded *access* on a local connection, so (for the time being
anyway) the answer is yes.  The local connection might work, but I
wouldn't count on it.
