Re:Component Managment

I have a set of components that has become "outdated". An application of
mine has been developed and tested with these components so I do not have
a
need to upgrade (or a desire to re-test if I upgraded). However a new
different component library from the same manufacturer has come out that I
would like to use for another project. The kicker is that you need to
upgrade the other component set to use it.
Since I do not want to upgrade is there a way I can have dual Delphi 7 IDE's?
One
with the original "outdated" component set for maintenance and the other
with a new set? Has anyone done this?
Have a look in the thirdpartytools.general group, there was an announcement
for a product called packagemanager or something like that recently which
makes it easier to manage this sort of thing.

You should also consider using an automated build tool such as FinalBuilder,
so that you can build outside of the IDE with library paths that are
independant of what is set in the IDE. This makes it easier to ensure you
always build a particular project with the correct versions of your third
party tools (they don't all need to be installed in the ide to compile).
There are a number of benifits to automated builds, the above is just one
example.
