FlameRobin x64 0.97 tries to load the fblient.dll for Firebird 2.5 from Firebird_2_5\WOW64 instead from Firebird_2_5\bin

Hi, Flamerobin x64 needs Firebird x64 DLL, just do be sure, are your Fb setup x64?

I've just updated to version 0.99 (from one of the latest 0.9.3, don't remember which one exactly) and came across a similar issue.

I'm using x86 version and it tries to load the x64 version from c:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_3_0 instead from c:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_3_0\WOW64.

Moreover, both these directories are not in the search path, so it would be better to try loading from c:\Windows\SysWOW64 (for the x86 version) or c:\Windows\System32 (for the x64 version).

Also, adding the correct library to Preferences->General->Library file name will work for DB connections, but not for the "Retrieve server version" function (this seems to work after connecting to at least one DB, probably because at this point the DLL is already loaded).
