visio addin not load - reload

[Florin Capra]

Hello,

I am coming at the problem (I have another post related this -
6/19/2007) where I am unable to load Visio AddIn at the client. I want
to give you another information maybe you have an idea.

The client had installed the VS2005, compiled sources and started the
project .... and Visio had loaded the AddIn. Now, the client could start
Visio and load AddIn without starting VS2005. Was enough to start for
only one time ....

Maybe VS2005 setting some keys that are not taken in account by the
Setup project..... I really don't know.

If you have any ideas please let me know !

Thanks a lot !

Regards,
Florin Capra

Please take a look at this article about installation, Visio, and
VSTO:

Also, it might be helpful if you test your setup on a "blank" PC (a PC
where the system has been just installed).
You could use Microsoft Virtual PC for this (it's free).

Hi Nikolay,

Thanks for your links ...I will check.

Regarding testing machine .... i did this step, using Virtual PC, and
works well. My problem is at the client computer.

If you are using Visio2003, my friend solved the problem.
He checked the example named as WBSTreeview in VisioSDK, add
ComVisible(true) to Class property, and relocated the registry data
hogehoge.Connect in the setup project from HKLM to HKCU.
