Yes, all the BPL and DCP files are located in
"D:\BORLAND\Delphi5\Projects\Bpl". I have checked them off against the
file listing in the install.txt.

Yes, both BPL and DCP output directories are pointing
to:"$(DELPHI)\Projects\Bpl"

There 2 cfg files called IBO40ADT_D5.cfg and IBO40FTS_D5.cfg.
They both have:

-LE"d:\borland\delphi5\Projects\Bpl"
-LN"d:\borland\delphi5\Projects\Bpl"

so that looks OK

I have build 6.18 Update Pack 1.

I have become quite an expert at installing (or at least trying to)
and un-installing IBO.

Here's what typically happens:

I open the Project Group file "IBO40_D5.bpg"
Then I open up one of the packages and do a "Build All"
I verify that the files in my /Projects/BPL directory are all there.
I now right-click on one of the design time (DT) packages and select
install. It fails with the by now quite familiar message.
I try all the other ones: same result.

I can however do this:

Go to "Component | Install packages"
Then select "Add" and navigate to my projects/bpl directory, select
one of the packages. Thisd installs OK. Repeat for all the other packages.
I now have a full install of IBO and everything works.

Close Delphi down.
Restart Delphi: Error message about every single IBO package that was
previously working.
Repeat Go to "Component | Install packages" etc. etc. and everything
works.

Tried this half a dozen times with the same (predictable) result.
Maybe .. I'm a slow learner <g>

I have you any other suggestions, I'd love to hear.

Thanks for all your help so far.
