Can't create ActiveX control for Visio 2007 when build# different

[martin]

Hi,

I've got Visio 2007 Enterprise installed and so does my colleage. I've
written a C# app using the Visio 2007 activeX control and it works fine on my
machine. On his machine the same app crashes though with a COMException
saying REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG (HRESULT 0x80040154).

Now, I have Visio version 12.0.4518.1004 but my friend has version
12.0.4518.1014 (single digit difference).

I've never put in a specific reference to any version in my code and I've
looked around in the generate winforms *.designer.cs files and I can't find
any explicit references there either...

How can I work around this problem? I would like my C# app to run on any
system where any version of Visio 2007 is installed.


Regards,
Martin

My idea is for you to gather information in the web with keywors of error
massage and visio.

For instance, I found one article that speaks to the specific error code :

Essentially, it may be caused by having an older version of MDAC on the
problem computer.

Sorry for second response - as you pointed out, the source machine (on
which you compiled) has a different build of Visio. The build number
ending in 1014 is the final release of Visio 2007 (both Pro and Std), while
the 1004 build was a pre-release build.

You will need to remove the pre-release build of Visio (and Office) 2007
and perform a clean install of the final build versions in order to get a
clean compilation of your project.

If you need assistance in getting the pre-release bits removed, use this
article as a guide to help you get the pieces removed:
