Problem referencing Visio Modeling Engine from VS2005

[Clint]

I'm trying to code against the Visio Modeling Engine (installed with VS 2005
Team Suite), and I'm getting the error below. Any suggestions? It says to
try importing without class members, but no clues as to how to do that. A
google search didn't show up much beyond the fact that the
"ResolveComReference" task seems to be new in 2005.

As an FYI, I think I found the answer (sort of). I used the "tlbimp"
application (in the VS\SDK\V2.0\bin folder" to create a new dll out of the
existing one. Seems to have worked ok, although I might end up abandoning
this approach anyway...
