Visual Studio 2005 Beta 1 and OWC

[p.]

I have Visual Studio 2005 Beta 1 and Office 2003 (with OWC installed) on
Windows Server 2003.
When I add OWC to the toolbox (Tools, Choose Toolbox Items..., COM
Components), they all appear grayed out on the toolbox. So, I can not drag
and drop them into ASPX or HTML page (Design View) and work with them in
Design View.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a new web site
2. Go to Tools, Choose Toolbox Items..., COM Components, MS Office
Spreadsheet 11.0, Select OK
3. The Spreadsheet Component appears grayed out on the toolbox (Toolbox,
right click, View All is checked).

Have you tried re-registering the components at the command prompt?
regsvr32 owc11.dll roughly. You will need to close and re-open VS studio to
see the change.

Thank you, Alvin, I did re-register the components, re-opened VS, no changes.

I didn't mention it before, if I open Windows application, the OWC are
displayed on the toolbox, and I can drag and drop them on a Windows form.
They appear grayed out if I work with Web application (ASPX or HTML page in
Design View).
