Thanks Helen. It did give me a checkbox for Delphi 7 and Delphi
2005. I checked the Delphi 2005 checkbox only. The install went
without a hitch. However, when I ran Delphi 2005 I received "Can't
load package c:\documents and settings\stan\my documents\borland
studio projects\bpl\ibo40cdt_d2005.bpl. The specified module could
not be found. Do you want to attempt to load this package the next
time a project is loaded?" error message for this file and also for
the adt, tdt, vdt, fdt, xdt, wdt, wxdt, and edt files. After Delphi
came up I removed all the packages from the "component|install
packages" menu and moved all the design and run-time packages to
c:\program files\borland\bds\3.0\ibo4\d2005 directory (which was in
the library path). Then I installed all the design-time packages. I
now seem to have IBObjects installed in Delphi 2005. I haven't tried
to install to Delphi 7 yet. I think the installer needs a little
fine-tuning.
