What assembly to use to support VisSaveAsWeb?

I need to use the Visio SaveAsWeb assembly and to support 2007 and 2010.

I notice that the assemblies copied into my project include:

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Visio.dll

However, it doesn't include:

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Visio.SaveAsWeb.dll

I am just working through where to get this to ensure maximum compatibility (my development machine has Visio 2010).

Suggestions?

Perhaps you should add this (and other "extras") to your distribution folder?

Regards
Robert

Hi Robert,

It looks like you need to download the Visio 2010 SDK if you want to use the the Save as Web Page feature.

Thank you for the suggestion. We will consider adding this interop to the Add-in Express package.

I found the .dll on my test machine with Visio2007 under \windows\assembly\gac and have copied it in to the interops folder.

The project builds - so I need a few more tests to see if things work properly...

On a related note - finally got the installer (.msi) to work on my Visio2007 test env.

I was getting these sort of errors:

13:39:02 1228 Registering the 'smsvisioutils.dll' assembly (user).

What I realised is that the setup project did not have any reference to the Visio assemblies that I needed. So I added them in manually (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Visio.dll and Microsoft.Office.Interop.Visio.SaveAsWeb.dll ) and finally all was well!!

I wonder if there is a bug in the "Create Setup Project" in that it didn't copy them across as it should have done from the project's references section.

Hi Robert,

Nope. You need to include all assemblies that were added manually to the installer too. Also I have found a similar forum thread for you.
