I have found something that works. However, I am not sure of the
ramifications of it yet. Here is what I did.
1. I placed the Assembly (DLL) that contains the "bad" functoid in the
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006\Developer Tools\Mapper
Extensions" folder. Or make sure that it was still in this folder.
2. In Visual Studio IDE, chose the "Choose Toolbox Items" from the Tools
menu.
3. Pressed the "Reset" button there just for good measures.
4. Deselected the "bad" functoid from within the "Functoids" tab.
5. Closed Visual Studio IDE.
6. Removed the Assembly from the GAC (if it is registered there).
7. Removed the Assembly from the "C:\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk
Server
2006\Developer Tools\Mapper Extensions" folder.
All of this has been do***ented pretty much before in this thread. The
functoid does not show in the "Toolbox". However, as stated earlier in
the
thread, if the "Reset" button on the "Choose Toolbox Items" dialog is
pressed
it will show up again. Instead of removing the entire profile for the
user,
I found that if you take and run a "Repair Installation" for Biztalk 2006
Server, the "Reset" button does not put the functiod back on there. This
"Repair Installation" can be done by going to the Add/Remove Programs and
choose the "Change/Remove" option for Biztalk Server 2006. One of the
options is to do a "Repair". I am not sure what all this "repairs", but I
have not seen any side effects to this point.
