No syncfusion toolbox - Visual Studio 2017 community

***Please discard my choice of a specific control***

After successfully installing syncfusion essential windowsforms and then running toolbox installer, the relative syncfusion tab still did not appear.
I want to avoid manually choosing items for they're numerous (yes they are appearing when I add a tab then choose item).
Any help regarding this matter?
Thanks a lot.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply. I had some problems with Visual Studio 2017 and I had to remove it. However I have Visual Studio 2015 Community, will syncfusion essential windowsforms work with it?

Thank you!
