Did you miss this in the installation doc?

======================= Installing the Packages =======================
Don't attempt to install any package which REQUIRES Delphi packages that
your edition does not have. By default, the Project Group (BPG)
installations will install the compiled package libraries into
$(DELPHI)\Projects\BPL\ unless you have another path defined for compiled
library output. Please also make sure you add the path to the sources and
the libraries in the Tools, Environment Options, Library Path and Browsing
path. Otherwise, you will be unable to compile your applications using IBO.

So, do you have your Delphi 7 ..\Projects\bpl directory in the path? that
is where Delphi puts the bpl and dcp files if you don't give it an explicit
location.
