title: Firebird tools gfix gbak do not launch
body: <p>Running Firebird 2.5 as a service on a local 64-bit Windows 10 machine.</p>
  
  <p>isql, qli and a bunch of the other tools run just fine.</p>
  
  <p>However when I try an launch gfix, gbak and gstat the window barely opens before disappearing. It does this so quickly nothing is visible.
  Any recommendations for dealing with this?</p>
  
  <p>My actual goal at the moment is to change a firebird database from read-only to read-write. Which you can do using gfix <a href="http://www.firebirdsql.org/manual/gfix-dbmode.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.firebirdsql.org/manual/gfix-dbmode.html</a></p>
  
  <p>If there is some other method to change to read-write I'd happily use it.</p>
