Jason, I think it would be a mistake to abandon the separate "Raw"
download. I guess I'm not the only one who is keeping IBO current in
several versions of Delphi, with custom environment paths, etc.. The
installer totally wrecks this (and writes things in the Registry that
conflict with one another).

I would take a lot of convincing that an installer for "any and all
versions of Delphi" is at all an objective one could ever
satisfy. At least with the raw install one has exact control over
what goes where...getting a properly working installation matters one
heck of a lot more to me than a cute installer. I doubt that I'm
alone in this.
