I have uninstalled D5, D7, and D8. I have deleted all bpl files
associated with IBO. I did a complete install of D5 and I even
hacked the paths as suggested. I am still having the same problem.
I can compile all the packages fine...but as soon as I install the
first design time package I get the AV error.

I can install other components okay like Indy and some other ones.
It seems only to be a problem with IBO.
