It could be that you have bits of old IBO installations hanging about in
the system path; or, with an ancient OS and an ancient Delphi, it might be
pinpointed on the Windows Common Controls set, from which all delphi
controls ultimately inherit.
If a connection to a firebird database is involved, it could be that the M$
C++ runtime (msvcp60.dll, required by the client library) is missing or
that the C runtine (msvcrt.dll) is missing or too old.
Or just about anything....
