Confirmed with Delphi 6 Ent. The IB_SQL.dpr project seems to have
been saved in a later version of Delphi.

However, you can open the project in D6 and tell it to Ignore All
exceptions whilst the project loads; Ctrl-F9 to compile it; and
close the project without saving. Copy the freshly compiled
executable into the Tools folder of your new IBO installation and
your desktop shortcut will work fine.

Also confirmed for Delphi 6.

No, it seems to be any components that are using TStatusBar anywhere,
i.e. in property editors. TIB_Connection and TIB_Transaction have
the IB_SQL code in their design-time editors so the two symptoms are
related. The problem is, I don't know what to suggest to get past
the compiled-in problem wrt those property editors, other than don't
use the property editors.
