Visio 2007 Drawing Control failed to initialize in VS2005 Project

[Larry]

I create a simple window form project in C# and added the Visio 2007 Drawing
control on a form and hit F5 and I get the following in InitializeComponent
method
on the line
((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this.axDrawingControl1)).EndInit();

It works if I use Visio 2003 in VS2005. I can consistantly reproduce on two
different machine. Did I miss something?

Is it possible that you didn't add the v2007 drawing control (and other
libraries) to your project?

[Larry]

VS2005 added all the require assemblies reference for me when I drag the
Drawing control on to my form and it compiles perfectly fine.

 

[Al Edlund]

do the machines that you are testing on have v2007 installed?
al

 

[Larry]

Yes, Visio 2007 Installed. Otherwise, the control won't show up in the VS2005
Toolbox. The Visio 2007 Drawing Control shown up fine in design mode in
VS2005. I can even set the SRC property and the Visio drawing come up fine
in design time. As soon as I run the application.

 

[Al Edlund]

Well, I'd probably try to start to understand why this is 'close' to the
root of what the message was saying

Make sure it is installed on end-user machines - not just the developer machine
