At last...

OK, then I recommend that you start over.

Do a total cleanup - and I mean searching your disk for everything starting
with IB_ or IBO and deleting them.

Run the uninstaller applet from Add/Remove Programs (Control Panel). This
will clear out the garbage from the MSI database but unfortunately it won't
do anything else; but the installer will probably barf if you don't do this.

Remove all of the IBO packages from Delphi, using Components>Install. I
mean, really REMOVE them, don't just disable them.

Do the same thing for whatever root dir you are going to use for
IBO. Delete it entirely.

Then, set up ALL of your paths, both as living, existing, empty directories
AND in the Delphi environment editor *before* you begin. It is *not*
enough to rely on the installer to create them for you. Also make sure that
the directory $DELPHI\Projects\BPL exists. If not, create it.

Then, exit from Delphi (wait for it to disappear from the Task Bar); then
run the installer without Delphi running.

Yes, I know it's not supposed to be this way. But no, there's not a high
chance that the Eval version will install properly if you don't take care
of this.
