Hi,

They should coexist just fine. BCB6 and BDS do on my machine.
The one point to focus on would be the Windows PATH if, and only
if, you use packages/dll's of the same name in both IDEs. i.e.
Either IDE will load the first SomeDll.dll and/or SomePack.bpl
found on the PATH. That is why using suffix's like MyPack100.bpl
is a good idea. If the BDS IDE finds and loads a SomePack.dll
that was built with a different version the error is odd, making
it sound the rtl100.bpl itself is at fault.

No, no registry remnants. The uninstall will leave any
"user" file under the CBuilder directory. This is any
file created, patched, or touched post-install.
