[Solved] Q1 2009 tools do not install in toolbox

[Sam]

I ran the register controls in toolbox for VS 2008 and it won't install them, here is the log:

INSTALL:  could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80030002 (STG_E_FILENOTFOUND))
INSTALL:    at EnvDTE80.Solution2.AddFromTemplate(String FileName, String Destination, String ProjectName, Boolean Exclusive)
   at Telerik.Installation.ToolBoxInstaller.Init()
   at Telerik.Installation.ToolBoxInstaller.Execute(String command)

Anyone else run into this?????

Hello,

The toolbox installer needs a default project template to create the toolbox items. We use the windows forms application or class library templates (C# or VB.NET). If your Visual Studio 2008 installation does not have either of these templates, the toolbox installer fails.

The folder you should check is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\CSharp\Windows\1033\ or C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\VisualBasic\Windows\1033. Ensure that either WindowsApplication.zip or ClassLibrary.zip is present in at least one of these folders and if not, install them using the Visual Studio setup.

Hello,

I have the same problem as Sam. Because I have only ...\1031 in the standard installation (German Version), but with all zip files, I create a directory ...\1033 and copied all the files from ...\1031 into ...\1033. Then I ran the Toolboxinstaller, but with the same result.

Any other idea?

Hi Kurt,

The locale (e.g. 1033 for English, 1031 for German) should not matter in this case. The method we use to get the project template location is not dependent on the language of the installation.

Did you run the toolbox installer as an administrator? Perhaps the problem is with the permissions for these files.

If all else fails, you can easily register the controls manually. Open the toolbox, right click to add a new tab, then right click on the new tab to choose items. When the "Choose Toolbox Items" dialog opens, click browse and point to the Telerik.Web.UI.dll file from the bin or bin35 folder in the RadControls installation. The bin35 folder should be used if you are using Visual Studio 2008 and plan to develop projects using .NET framework 3.5. Otherwise you should use Telerik.Web.UI.dll from the bin folder.

Hi Lini,

many thanks for the quick response. I tried it the first time as administrator, but now with your tip with the .dll it works.
Everything fine now.

Many thanks
