I have been trying to load the designer for the DotNetShellLayoutView or any other views the the layout folder. I always get the same error:
 
The path is not of a legal form.

at System.IO.Path.NormalizePathFast(String path, Boolean fullCheck)

Not sure what the deal is. I have tried to rebuild the project.
I can view the designers on a different machine just not the one I needt.
 
Also, where can I find workspace toolbox items?

Before I even started with Cabana, I made sure that I could build a CAB project based on the SCSF offered by the Patterns & Practices group.  This forced me to install several items that I do not even use when working with Cabana (although, I think they need to be there).  Perhaps one of these items did not get installed on the development machine that you are working on.  The installation of the various CAB pieces will also place the items that you need into the toolbox.
 
Hope that helps,
Bill

I guess you could try delete the project DLLs from the LIB folder (DevEx.*, DotNet.*, IdeaBlade.*, Scsf.*, etc.), then build the LIB solution again.  Perhaps there is a reference that has gotten misdirected.

No luck. And I forgot to say it crashes my instance of VS when I try to open the view files as well.

Here are some other questions that come to mind:
 
Have you tried a "fresh" installation of Cabana?  Starting from scratch?
Do other solutions open without these errors on this machine?
Can you download and build the CAB Hello World project?
 
It is odd that VS crashes when simply opening a view.  I still think there is a reference gone bad there somewhere, though.
 
Interesting.

Here is another question. Where do I get the workspace tools? I can't find them to reference them.

It seems to be the DevEx version. I can open the DotNet version fine.

I believe Cabana is built with DevEx 7.1, not the recent 7.2 version.  That could be one issue.
 
Workspace tools?  Are you referring to the CAB items?  WindowSmartPartInfo, DeckWorkspace, TabWorkspace, etc.?  I believe I got these when I installed the SCSF...not exactly sure, but that seems like the most obvious, to me.  I am checking, now, to confirm.

Interesting discussion guys.  Thanks for your contribution.
 
Actually, the latest version of Cabana is built with version 7.2.2 of Developer Express, but the latest version of DevForce (3.5.3.1) is built with DevEx 7.2.1.  The DevEx install places redirects into your machine.cfg file.
 
You should have DevForce 3.5.3.1 and Developer Express 7.2.2 installed. to use Cabana.
 
The CAB UI components are in
 
Microsoft.Practices.CompositeUI.Winforms.dll 
 
Select Tools->Choose Toolbox Items... and browse to this assembly (in the \Lib folder).
 
Hope this helps.

Thank you for that information. I have done as specified. All projects compile except the IdeaBlade.Cab.DevEx project. It has a crap load of errors. I couldn't get 7.2.2 I had to get 7.2.3. Apparently there are some changes.
 
Anyone know where I could get 7.2.2 trial.
 
I got MS CAB tool box items up yesterday. tx.

Never mind. Just used the link for the 7.2.3 version and changed the file name. Worked fine.

Now I can't get the Lib to compile. The Cab.DevEx keeps failing.
Running DevForce 3.5.3.1 and DevExpress 7.2.2.
 
I have fixed the mappings in the Machine.config file to redirect from 7.1 to 7.2.2.

As an exercise (while waiting on templates/wizards), I have been working on updating Cabana to the most current versions of each product.  I was able to get the LIB to compile with DevExpress 7.2.3 (DevForce 3.5.3.1).  I am still working on the main project.  Only working on it when I have a spare minute or two, though.
