COMException in VB.NET App on instaninating New Visio.Application

[Urs Eichmann]

Hi,
Scenario: Sharepoint event capture Add-In, is instantinating a Domain user
before loading and modifing a Visio Document.

The problem: If the user which is being instantinated is logged in
interactively on the server, everything works fine. However, if the user is
not logged in, I get Exception COMException (0x80080005): Server execution
failed on the following line:
m_VisioApp = New Visio.Application

Is this a known limitation? Is there any way around it (other than keeping
the user logged in all the time?)

Thanks for any help,

Urs Eichmann

to answer my own question:
This seems to be a system limitation in Visio 2003. It does work, however,
with Visio 2007. So, the answer is: Switch to Visio 2007.

or use CreateObject("visio.application")

is this really working??? I hope my customer never reads this since he just
bought a copy of Visio 2007...
