I run 4 versions of Delphi on the same machine, though not D2007, with a variety of IBO versions. I keep a separate source folder for each Delphi/IBO installation pair and I make a "dcu" folder inside that folder as the destination for the dcu files (all set up in the environment paths before I begin the install). I make BPL files go to $DELPHI$\projects\bpl in all cases. I *always* install IBO from the raw source kits/BPG.

I don't know about D2007 and paths, whether there is something nasty that overrides your own settings for package installations...

The main idea is to ensure that you are in control of where all of the compiled bits and pieces go and that Delphi knows where they are. Have you checked the path settings in the setup dialog of each BPG, to ensure that you don't have stuff from different installations going to some common place, such as the win\system32 folder?
