Problem/Solution with the Infragistics NetAdvantage 2005 Vol 3 CLR2 Toolbox Install Utility ("Tools.InstallCommunityControls" is not valid)
Chetan Chudasama's Weblog : Failure to install Toolbox controls via ContentInstaller or Tools.InstallCommunityControls
"Failure to install Toolbox controls via ContentInstaller or Tools.InstallCommunityControls
If you have the SQL Server Management Studio Express CTP or SQL Server 2005, then it is overwriting some registry key settings. The workaround for this is:
Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\Packages\{36839529-3AF3-47fa-8194-F4A3FA9F0ED7}, change the CodeBase value to use the Visual Studio 8.0 location, for e.g. file:///D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\Microsoft.VisualStudio.ToolBoxControlInstaller.dll
Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\Packages\{36839529-3AF3-47fa-8194-F4A3FA9F0ED7}\SatelliteDll, change the Path value to point to the Common7\IDE folder for e.g. D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\
Open the Visual Studio Command Prompt and run devenv /setup
This should fix the issue.
Thanks,
Chetan"

I ran into an issue this [Command "Tools.InstallCommunityControls" is not valid. at EnvDTE_DTE.ExecuteCommand(String CommandName, String, CommandArgs)] this weekend when using the Infragistics NetAdvantage 2005 Vol 3 CLR2 Toolbox Install Utility with Visual Studio 2005 RTM. I googled and searched the Infragistics site but couldn't find anything and so had to fall back to emailing their tech support. Waiting in my inbox this morning was a link to the above post...
After following the above directions, the Utility worked fine.
I'm posting this to try and help others googling for this issue...

Here is the Infragistics KB article that support sent me to:
http://devcenter.infragistics.com/Support/KnowledgeBaseArticle.aspx?ArticleID=8624
For some reason this fix is not working for me. NetAdvantage 2006 V1 (with VS 2005 RTM). :(
BTW,
Here is the other link support sent me to manually do the same thing:
http://help.infragistics.com/NetAdvantage/2006.1/CLR2.0/HelpFiles/20061/Introduction_Adding_Controls_and_Components_to_the_Toolbox.html
I couldnt get it working some how. I use Tools.InstallCommunityControls to load my custom controls automatically. But it fails saying Package "toolbox installer package failed to load". I tried out all the methods that are mentioned in this blog as well as in chetans blog but in vain. Any other help?
