Hi Jorge,
We regret for the inconvenience caused.
We would like to let you know that Syncfusion does not provide Toolbox support for
Visual Studio Express edition. However you can configure controls manually. To do so, could you please follow the steps suggested below link?
http://help.syncfusion.com/ug/common/index.html#!Documents/manuallyconfiguringvstoolbox.htm
If you are not using the Express edition, please proceed with the response below.
If you have disabled the “Register Syncfusion Assemblies in GAC” checkbox then
Configure Syncfusion controls in Visual Studio Toolbox (if assemblies installed)” checkbox will also be disabled(by default)
under the Select Advanced Options while installing v13.2.0.29 setup, then Syncfusion controls will not be installed in GAC and controls will not be
configured in Visual Studio.
Note:
Toolbox will be configured only if the assemblies are installed in GAC location.
If you installed by disabling the above mentioned check box, you can configure toolbox by following the below steps.
1. Run the
Assembly Manager utility from Dashboard.
Dashboard Location : Start -> Dashboard {Product Version}
Example: Start -> Dashboard 13.2.0.29
Please refer the below documentation link to know more about Assembly Manager.

2. Then please run the
Toolbox Installer from dashboard.

Q1) can the assemblies be installed manually
A1) Yes, you can install the Syncfusion assemblies in GAC manually using Gacutil.exe .To do so, could you please follow the below steps?
1. Open the Visual Studio 2013 command prompt with administrative privileges(Admin mode)
2. Pass the below arguments.
Arguments:
gacutil -i <assembly name with path>
Example:
gacutil -i "F:\Assemblies\Syncfusion.BulletGraph.Windows.dll"
Please refer the below screen shot for your reference.
3. The given assembly will be installed in the GAC.
Q2) i read some place around this forum that manual installation of assemblies was ok for testing but not for development since syncfusion automatically registers and chooses the right version for your build :s
A2) Yes, Syncfusion has a utility named Assembly manager, which installs and uninstalls the assemblies from GAC.
Q3) how can i get the syncfusion essential studio setup to install as expected?
A3) Please install v13.2.0.29 by checking all the options in the
Select Advanced Options window
while installing the Syncfusion setup. Now as you expected, Syncfusion assemblies will be installed in GAC and Syncfusion controls will be configured in Visual Studio.
Please let us know if you need any further assistance on this.
Regards,
Manivannan S.
