Hi,

I have a Windows Application that utilises the Visio Drawing Control. I
have written this app in VB.NET. When i dropped the control onto a form the
file AxInterop.VisOcx.dll was created. When i try to deploy this app to a
machine which has the .NET Framework redistributable package installed it
falls over with an error saying that it cannot find the file. If i deploy
it to a diiferent machine with VS.NET fully installed it works.

Has anybody come across this before or have any ideas as to what the problem
may be?

Cheers in advance for any and all help.

regards

Lee

Lee, two notes. A bit more detail, with say a stacktrace of the issue, goes
a long way to helping understand what's wrong (it's probably simple, but
we'll be guessing at the issue right now). Next, your best bet for a good
response on this issue will be the windowsforms newsgroup.

Regards,
Kit

Have you checked if the target machine has Visio installed? The
AxInterop.VisOcx.dll created is a RCW (runtime callable wrapper). This is a
bridge to route manged calls to encapsulated unmanaged COM functionality.
The unmanaged COM object, VisOcx.dll, is still required to implement the
functionality.
