Tim,
Was the compilers used to build XE2 updated to Update 3?  

After installing, the IDE moaned that the edb2008rsdelphiwin32xe2design.bpl can't be installed because it was created with a different version of Delphi.  Same with the 64 bit.

Since I have source code, I would just need to recompile, but non-source code users may have an issue.

False alarm - Sortof.

Usually I'll uninstall - Then install new version.  This time I just ran the install, which did prompt to tell me it would uninstall older version first.

Somehow the 207 version was still in the Bin directory for the IDE.  I killed it then reinstalled and all is well (other than recompiling a couple comps that use EDB as dependencies.

One thing I did note.  You can not recompile the XE2 Design Time BPL without modifying the source to include the VCL namespace for Forms, Graphics and a couple other uses.  Then it compiles.  

Lance,

Yeah, we compile it with this option for XE2 (command-line compiler):

/nsSystem;System.Win;Winapi;Vcl;Data;Xml

Ahhh.  Ok.  A couple other components of mine do the similar thing, which would explain it.

I can't remember if it was in there, but wonder if it would be good/nice to have a recompile.bat file available to make it easier to recompile, post installation.  A few of mine have that which makes things nice to not have to fight with things (not that adding the namespaces is overly taxing).  I have a few mods I had to do with a couple comps that I have to always re-enter with each update.
