I think the good way is to backup FIRST the databases from 1.0.4 and Remove the old version of Firebird (From Add Remove Programms) and then do a clean install of the
Firebird 1.5 (run the setup).
If the service is started then you can restore the
databases .
UPDATE: Actually in the v1.5 setup readme (After you agree with the licence ) it writes to UNINSTALL the previous version (be it 1.0 or 1.5)


PS: this is how i do it for every database server
postgresql, mysql when upgrade

You can install rc4(setup) and then unzip the rc5 files over the rc4 instalation dir (In program files )
