If it is failing, then it is more than likely pulling the Extensibility assembly from some other location.  Be sure that the you also copied the DLLs to the c:\program files\common files\MicroFour\StrataFrame folder as well.

I ran into the same problem and I confirmed that I copied new DLL's into Assembly Cache.

I have just retested this and it appears to work.  You MUST be sure to copy out the new Addins and Extensibility DLLs or none of the DTE type editors or actions will work properly, including this.  It seems that your message tells me that you do not have the most recent Extensibility and AddIns DLLs in your GAC.

You can get them from here: http://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost12892.aspx

I've recompiled the wrapper to 7.3. When I click on "Create Strataframe Toolbox Tab" in VS 2005 it works Ok, but if I try to do the same in visual Studio 2008 (I've followed your instructions to run Strataframe on VS2008) I get this error:

ArgumentNullException
  Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: sp

If you've recompiled the wrapper to 7.2, then the Create Toolbox Items should work properly.  It doesn't try to detect whether Infragistics is installed, it just traps the TypeLoadExceptions and snuffs them for when Infragistics isn't installed.  So, once you rebuild the wrapper and the file is installed in the GAC (which should be done by the AfterBuild.bat file), then restart VS and try to create the toolbox again through the StrataFrame menu.

I just installed SF on a vista box and noticed that it did not install acknowledge Infragistics. Now is this because I have 7.2 installed and need to install 6.3 first?

I did recompile the wrapper to 7.2.

Yep, still on 6.3.3.0.  As for Infragistics (for anyone else wondering), it's v6.3, too (2006 vol. 3).

What about 1.6.1?

Thanks Ben!
