You can download Firebird source code. It contains InnoSetup script that actually installs firebird on windows targets. You can then modify it to suit your needs.
您可以下载Firebird源代码。它包含实际在Windows目标上安装firebird的InnoSetup脚本。然后,您可以根据自己的需要进行修改。
As a side advice, maybe you should consider Inno Setup yourself.
作为附带建议,也许您应该自己考虑Inno Setup。

InterBase and hence Firebird provide an API you can use in your installer script to automate installation.
InterBase和Firebird提供了一个API,您可以在安装程序脚本中使用它来自动安装。
See documentation for this API in the document "InterBase 5.5 Embedded Installation Guide" http://dn.codegear.com/article/26386
请参阅“InterBase 5.5 Embedded安装指南”文档http://dn.codegear.com/article/26386中的此API文档
The InterBase Express (IBX) components provide a Delphi binding for the installation API. This is documented in the InterBase 6.0 "Developer's Guide".
InterBase Express(IBX)组件为安装API提供Delphi绑定。这在InterBase 6.0“开发人员指南”中有记录。
@mghie and @TOndrej have made comments about my mistake. I was the Product Manager for InterBase once upon a time, when InterBase did provide an installation API. But this answer is outdated, by literally ten years now.
@mghie和@TOndrej对我的错误做了评论。当InterBase确实提供安装API时,我曾经是InterBase的产品经理。但这个答案已经过时了十年了。
Here's another resource which is more up to date:
这是另一种更新的资源:
- Unofficial Firebird Installation page
非官方Firebird安装页面
This has step-by-step instructions for creating your own Inno Setup installer for Firebird, to accompany your own application installer. No doubt you could use a different installer technology for your application, and simply call the Inno Setup installer as an external program from your installer. But it would probably be more seamless if you also use the Inno Setup for your own product.
这包含为Firebird创建自己的Inno Setup安装程序的分步说明,以配合您自己的应用程序安装程序。毫无疑问,您可以为您的应用程序使用不同的安装程序技术,只需将安装程序中的Inno Setup安装程序作为外部程序调用即可。但如果您也将Inno Setup用于您自己的产品,那么它可能会更加无缝。

If you don't need standalone Firebird server, you could also just include required files in your setup and use Firebird as a embedded SQL server.
如果您不需要独立的Firebird服务器,您还可以在设置中包含所需的文件,并将Firebird用作嵌入式SQL服务器。

Create a bootstrapper, for your product and the prerequisites that your product needs.
为您的产品和产品所需的先决条件创建引导程序。

Other products might be a good model to follow. For example, Pidgin relies on a specific version of GTK and guides you through running the GTK installer. Being open source, one option would be to look through the source for their NSIS installer package to see how they're doing it.
其他产品可能是一个很好的模型。例如,Pidgin依赖于特定版本的GTK,并指导您运行GTK安装程序。作为开源,一个选择是查看他们的NSIS安装程序包的源代码,看看他们是如何做的。
