I built a custom component (con. mgr.) that uses some external dependencies
(dlls) and properly registered it with SSIS. When I open up BI studio, create
an IS project and bring up the Package designer (and do all the other
required stuff to make it actually visible in the Toolbox) I can see my
connection manager add click to add it to the package. However, the process
fails at this point due to unresolved file locations. When I looked at the
error closer it showed me that devenv.exe does the search for the assembly
only within its own application scope (.config, machine.config, probing etc)
but wouldn't bother looking under the dlls folders.

What are my options?

Thanks

Install your additional assemblies in the GAC? Works for me, for some shared
resources I have bween several tasks/connectiosn etc.
