WiX Installing Server Control to Toolbox

Question

I've got a server control in a dll deployed as part of a wix msi installation. I have gotten the installer to make the control available in the toolbox's ADD ITEMS window, but the contol isn't added to the the toolbox by default.

How can I configure wix the installer to automatically add the toolbox item to, say, toolboxes to be shown for asp.net websites and web application projects under a new Category.

Answer 1

Looks like this post contains the start of the answer.

Still don't know how to get the WiX to use this custom action properly, but at least this is a good start.
