I notice that third-party components have different install packages
for the different Builder versions.

I have a number of very useful components for Builder 6 for which
there are no Builder 2006-2007 versions.

Is it very difficult to convert them myself? I could nowhere find any
help of how to do this?

Greetings

Yes, because package binaries are version-specific (except in the case of 
RAD2007, which is binary compatible with BDS2006), and must be compiled 
using the version they are going to be used with.  Also, the format of the 
package project files themselves have changed over the years from one 
version to another.

That depends on what the components do.  If they are not using 
version-specific functionality, then you should be able to just create new 
package projects, add the existing source files to them, and then compile.
