Hi Helen

Thanks for responding so quickly.

I tried first with the default BPL and DCP output directories, (and I
have the ..\Projects\bpl directory in both Library and Browsing path).
When I did this, I could not even install the packages. It would at
that stage come up with the "library cannot be found" message.

I then tried changing the BPL and DCP output directories to C:\IBO4,
where my installation files are. I also included C:\IBO4 then into the
Library and Browsing paths. (I did this after erasing every trace of
IBO first from Delphi and from my hard drive.) I then built all
projects again, and then it allowed me to install the packages. But
now I get the "library not found" message when I close and re-open
Delphi. It doesn't make sense.
