Installation Error

Question

I recently tried to install edtFTPnet/PRO that we purchased and I received this error during installation...

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The language specified is not supported by any of the installed packages.
   at EnvDTE80.Solution2.GetProjectTemplate(String TemplateName, String Language)

   at EnterpriseDT.Net.Ftp.Pro.Toolbox.VS2005Registrar.Register(String dllPath, Boolean install, String tabName, ArrayList excludeList)

I ok'd the error and it finished the install. Now back to my project that is in VS on my workstation, I took the code from the trial that I had working, put the license settings into my webconfig file, and added the namespace to my page, though Visual Studio is not recognizing the name space, probably due to the above error, anyone have an idea why?

using EnterpriseDT.Net.Ftp;

Just to summarise here:

Occasionally the VS toolbox installation of components fails - it is a bit of a black art how to do this and not terribly reliable.

The components are easily manually added to the Toolbox by right clicking on it and selecting Choose Items. The DLL can then be browsed for (usually installed in C:\Program Files\Enterprise Distributed Technologies\edtFTPnet PRO) and added.

You may still need to add the DLL as a project reference.. As per MS guidelines, we don't install edtFTPnetPRO.DLL (or edtFTPnetEx.DLL) in the GAC.
