"An error occured.." while running the Toolbox Tab Utility

Uwe Keim posted over 16 years ago

While running the "Create Visual Studio Toolbox Tab" utlity from the start menu, I get the error message:

An error occured while attempting to add the Infragistics components to the toolbox

The message box shown also points to this log file:

C:\Users\ukeim\Documents\Infragistics\Tools\Toolbox Utility\Toolbox Utility.log

Which is actually zero bytes in length. I.e. completely empty.

Question: Any hints on what I can do to resolve and get the Infragistics toolbox tab in Visual Studio?

My configuration is:

NetAdvantage Version 8,2 with latest Hotfix
Windows Vista Enterprise (German)
Vistual Studio 2008 Professional, English
VS-Plug-in: ReSharper 4.1
VS-Plug-in: Vanatec Open Access
VS-Plug-in: Ants Profiler 4
I ran the utility both as normal user and administrator with the same results

Thanks
Uwe

Thanks, Andre
OMG, I never thought about opening the log file after closing the dialog box.
It then contains:

Maybe this is helpful.
Thanks

Same error for me.

There's the following content in my ToolBox Utility.log file (Uwe: the file gets filed after you confirm the error dialog with OK):

My System Configuration is

Windows XP Pro (english) with both, VS 2005 and VS 2008 (SP1) installed (both in english, too), CA eTrust Antivirus.

I had a similar error when I tried the toolbox utility on the following virtual machine:

Addition: I also have installed the "PowerCommands for Visual Studio 2008" which some report to be an issue sometimes.
I uninstalled them and now I am at least able to manually choose the toolbox items (before uninstalling, this lead to a crash of VS with ".NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.3053 - Fatal Execution Engine Error (72B05E00) (80131506)" in the event log, event ID is 1023, event source ".NET Runtime").
Still the Infragistics Toolbox Tab Utility brings an error.
