reset toolbox doesn't delete my components

Hi,

I am in the process of developing a custom component. During that time I went through many versions of my custom component, including various DLL names and signatures, different code etc.

The problem is that now I have old versions of my custom components stuck in the default settings of the toolbox. When I reset the toolbox, even if I manually deleted the old items, it appears again.

I tried to delete all the DLLs I previously copied to the SQL Server directories, and also uninstalled all the DLLs from GAC.

The result was that the new components didn't appear, and I don't have the option to choose them in the "choose items" menu, but they still appear on the toolbox.

It is not something I can't live with, but it's really annoying seeing old and irrelevant versions right in your face...

Please help :-)

    I don't have that folder... I tried deleting everything from the relevant sql server folder, but it didn't help.

    I believe the toolbox enumeration is driven off the %ProgramFiles%\DTS\<ComponentType> folder, so if you delete the old versions from there and reset they should be removed from the toolbox.

    That's what I did to begin with... it still didn't help.

    Sorry, what I meant was %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\90\DTS\<Component>. So to remove any Data Flow components, clean up C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\DTS\PipelineComponents. For Tasks, clean up C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\DTS\Tasks etc.
