I got one working ok early on, but now I cannot seem to get any more
working.

These are the steps I am following.
1) Compile assembly with strong name
2) Put assemply in GAC to get public key token and then remove
3) Enter public key token into dwp file
4) Compile assembly into cab file (with manifest.xml and dwp file)
5) Install cab with
stsadm.exe -o addwppack -filename myWebPart.CAB -globalinstall -force

Now this installs the assembly into the gac and sets up the web.config file
correctly and the webpart shows up in the Virtual Server Gallery. I try and
add it to a portal and I get the message "A Web Part or Web Form Control on
this Web Part Page cannot be displayed or imported because it is not
registered on this site as safe."

I am obviously doing something wrong but I cant see what it is. I have been
reading heaps of docs on this and it seems I am doing it correctly. Any
help would be appreciated.
