Borland BDS 2005 Problem

I have been struggling with an issue when launching Borland BDS 2005 lately. I kept seeing an error during launch that an EPackageRegistrationException in coreide90.bpl. I tried searching for everything that I could find to fix the issue, but there was just no information beyond they fix for the same error involving HTMLHelp.IDERegister.

I am running Vista, by the way. I had missed on the error dialog
earlier that there was an access denied error. So, I thought about a
possible permissions issue which did not really seem to make sense.
Nonetheless, I went through the process of changing the permissions on
my login user account for the "C:\Program Files\Borland" directory from
Read+Execute to Full Control.

Upon launching the BDS environment, I had no more errors. Finally! Success!
