Hello Carl,

Could you please send me a test project reproducing the issue? You can send it to the support email address; find it in {Add-in Express installation folder}\readme.txt; please make sure your email contains a link to this topic.

Hello Carl,

Thank you for sending me the test project. Unfortunately, it contains quite a lot of custom code and this may spoil the picture. Could you please 1) comment out the code, and 2) check if your add-in loads in Visio? The idea its: since it loads in VS 2010, it must also load in subsequent Visio versions. If it doesn't do this, there are some environment things that are different. Start with checking if it loads with no custom code.
