When installing 4+ under sys7, you need to make sure that it is in the System
Folder, not the control panels or anything else.  This is because (and I am
guessing by its behavior), when the INIT part it detects a _Launch of THINK C,
it looks in the System Folder for itself so that it can add its spiffy code to
the THINK C heap.  The reason it does this is because the INIT tries to keep
itself as small as possible... all it does is sit in the system heap looking
for a _Launch of THINK C... then puts the real code in the THINK C heap so that
the system heap isn't cluttered up by it.

Hope this helps...
