Dear All,
An old question which seems to be in need of a revision. We were installing adding assemblies to Visual Studio Toolbox without adding them to the GAC for the last 10 years. The magic is performed by the installer script which adds a key with assembly folder to:
HKLM "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\AssemblyFolders\MyAssemblies" "" "$INSTDIR\Assemblies"
However since some time ago, the installer is no longer able to make this write to be successful. I am not sure if the fault is with installer or does Windows 7 or antivirus block the writes to this root in the registry.
Is there any other way for assemblies which were added to Toolbox to be automatically found by the VisualStudio? To be somehow in the path of the IDE?
Thanks!
