I have just upgraded to SW 2008 sp4.0 (stand alone EducationEdition) from SW 2007 sp5.0, and I am getting the message"Toolboxbrowser is not installed or added in" when SW starts up. Using theadd-in menu solves nothing. The toolbox browser files are properlyloaded. This was a common problem with SW 2007 sp5.0. I used to doa detect and repair, with the antivirus off and the problem wouldgo away on reboot.
SW 2008 does not have a detect and repair function. I completelyuninstalled both SW 2007 and SW 2008, and used the disk clean uputility inside McAfee antivirus and cleaned up all loose registryentities, and other acumulated clutter. I use the McAfee utility aspart of my computer maintenance.
Upon reboot SW 2008 sp2.0 was installed , and computer rebooted.Sp4,0 was installed and rebooted. Mcafee was used to clean diskagain, and when SW 2008 sp4.0 was started message saying "could notload item or component missing" flashed several times. OK wasclicked at each instant, and SW loaded, and error message tellingme tool box is not loaded or added in appears.
Why does this happen? The required items are placed in defaultlocation.
How can I fix this outside of a complete reinstall?
Reboots do not work now.
Is there a patch that can be dowloaded?
What should I be doing to prevent this from happening again?"
Can I assume that the McAfee disk clean up utility may beresponsible for deleting an important SW entery?
