I have created a custom control and created and installer that puts it in
the GAC.
However, when I install it and then click choose item from the Visual Studio
Toolbox it is not there.
If I manually add it by browsing for the assembly outside the GAC then it
does appear temporarily.

How do I get my design time control listed in the Choose items dialog.

Maybe I'm telling you something stupid, but did you try to set the
ToolboxItem attribute to true?

Just
[ToolboxItem(true)]
above your main class declaration.
