I don't believe the problem is IBO -> Maybe Borland and
Microsoft need this treatment.

The Builder versions are running fine, but I THINK that your
problem may be that the library version of IBO40CRT_D5 is
not visable in your particular setup. I don't use delphi,
but while you can see the .bpl, isn't there a .bpi or .lib
version that the 'requires' needs to see? My own problems
come about when that is not saved to the default location in
Builder.
