I have down-loaded Balmsoft Wizard which is now an OS project on SourceForge
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bswizard . The last version supported by the
project was D7. I have had great success at upgrading the project to D2007
and have it [mostly] installed and working. The part that isn't is the IDE
Wizard to create a new Wizard Form. In addition I'm hoping to extend the
project to create a new Wizard Project. Both of these are being done with
templates from Eric at GExperts and well described steps by Jim at
MustangPeak.

I've read in a post, doing research on upgrading components to IDEs beyond
D7, that if FindCategory isn't successful with the IDString it gets passed
that it will create that category. Is this true?

In the existing project, the return value for IOTAWizard.GetIDString is set
to
Result := 'Balmsoft.Wizards.Wizard';
Is this inconsequential in D2006 and above? I've noticed that the trend in my
D2007Pro IDE is for CodeGear to use
"WizardCategory.MyWizards.Delphi.Personality" although other tools pretty
much continue to use whatever they had been using before.
Should I IFDEF the GetString function to conform?

I hope that makes some sort of sense.

I have been doing quite a bit of research, specifically at
http://www.gexperts.org/opentools/ [thanks Eric] and
http://www.mustangpeak.net/ [thanks Jim] ... just thought I'd take a moment
to thank them both for all the great work they've done in documenting the
undocumented. Thanks!
