### Issue

When installing the /WorkflowFileUpload/ component, I get the following error:

`Failure to install Toolbox controls via ContentInstaller or Tools.InstallCommunityControls`

### Background

If you are experiencing this issue, it is likely because you have either SQL Server Management Studio Express CTP or SQL Server 2005 installed. These applications have at one point overwritten some of the registry key values used by Visual Studio, resulting in the complications you are now experiencing.

### Solution

To install the `WorkflowFileUpload` control (as a workaround), do the following:

1. 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 example `file:///D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\Microsoft.VisualStudio.ToolBoxControlInstaller.dll`.

2. 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 example `D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\`.

3. Open the Visual Studio command prompt and run `devenv /setup` **(Do not forget this step.)**

4. Reinstall the `WorkflowFileUpload` control.

**Note:** If you continue to have problems installing this control or any other, you may be required to reinstall Visual Studio.
