Hi Lester
I found an earlier IBO eval version 4.8.7 which installs without error & adds all of the components correctly, the problem is now when I try & open the my project I get "Fatal linker error unable to open file IBO40fts_C6.lib".

I couldn't find any lib files under this versions file structure, SO I copied all the lib files from an older version of IBO & entered the path into the directories/conditionals & now project compiles/runs & all components are present. This is not was obviously intended, did I miss something in the installation process?
