Did something change with the latest RTM VS.NET release? Now i get "Command Tools.InstallCommunityControls is not valid." when trying to install the .vsi files with Visual Studio Content Installer.

Have you installed SQL Server Management Studio Express CTP? This may be causing this to fail. I have posted a workaround: http://blogs.msdn.com/chetanc/archive/2005/11/16/493495.aspx

Hi Chetan,

If I use the Visual Studio Content Installer to install my controls using the VSI file that I created, it adds them to the "My Controls" tab by default. I want to add them to my custom Tab. How do I do so?

I found out that the controls appear on the "My Controls" tab of the Toolbox by default from the link http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa992029(vs.80).aspx
