visio addin not load

[Florin Capra]

Hello,

I have a very strange situation and please I need your help.

I've developed an Visio AddIn in VS2005(C#) and on my computer and other
virtual machines works well but at the client the AddIn is not loaded by
Visio. On the virtual machines I have only Win XP, Visio, .net framework
2.0, vstor.exe (Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime), also I have
added security entries with caspol for my dll's. The same operations was
done on the client machine but AddIn is not loaded ...


Could you please tell me some reasons for why is not loaded ? Any hints ...


Many thanks for your help !

Regards,

How is your addin activated? from a template? from a shape being
dropped on a diagram? at startup? from the Tools -> addins menu?

Is your addIn digitally signed?
What are your security settings?
What are your client's security settings?

Is the addIn installed on the local machine or on a network drive?

Are you and your client both using the same language settings?

Hi Paul,

I try to answer to your questions :
1. AddIn is loaded at startup
2. No, is not digital signed
3. The security settings in Visio are the same for me and for my client.
4. The AddIn is installed on local machine.

It still not work ....

Many thanks for help !

Hi Paul,

I try to answer to your questions :
1. AddIn is loaded at startup

Is the addIn started by running your own exe file or is it started by
having added its path to the startup file path?

2. No, is not digital signed
3. The security settings in Visio are the same for me and for my client.

Is your client's security setting set to Low?

Paul, this sounds like a VSTO Addin - no exe invovled, and VSTO addins are
trusted.

Florin, what version of Visio on your PCs? and on your clients?
We have found that you cannot compile a VSTO addin for Visio 2003 on a PC
that has ever had any Office 2007 components.

Hi David,

You are right - is a VSTO AddIn, with no exe only with dlls, that are
trusted in .net Runtime Security Policy - only on Usergroup.

The client and me we have a Visio 2003 Professional edition. On my
computer I don't have any Office 2007 component but at the client I
don't know yet ... i will call to ask.


Many thanks for your help!

Regards,
Florin
