Helen, let's first focus on Delphi 4.

I deleted IBObjects using the uninstaller, and for certainty I deleted
all *_D4.bpl files on my computer. Then I restarted the computer and
reinstalled IBObjects 4.6 only for D4 with IBO4_6_A_FullSource.zip.

Not all the packages I need were installed so I load and compile
IBO40FDT_D4.dpk, but I get an error:
File not found: Deflate.obj while compiling ZLib.pas. This was the
error I got earlier with the installation of Delphi6!?

So I deleted all packages and installed it manually. Installing
IBO40FDT_D4.dpk again produced the error.

The bpl-output path is set to C:|Windows\System32 and there I find the
bpl's. The .dcp-files are put in the root of IBObjects
(C:\IBObjects4).

Please, can you help me once again?

tia,

Gerard
