Is Visual Studio hosed?

[Richard Andrew x64]

I just repaired my installation of VS 2022, and still it won't show any third-party controls in the designer toolbox. Do you think I should try uninstalling VS completely and reinstalling? Has anyone any experience with this issue?

Well my installation just hung....

Sounds familiar; I might have come across something similar years ago. If I recall, it must've been happening regularly enough that MS had added a command-line arg to VS to (somehow) re-scan for items that should be in the toolbox and try to rebuild it. I have no idea what it might be however, or whether it's still there.

u may have to run those tp installer if needed to bring them back... or u need to add those back by registering them with vs
