error message trouble
I am receiving an errror message at the start-up of Visio that says
"Visio could not find this add-on or one of it's files. An error occured and this feature is no longer functioning properly. Would you like to repair this feature now?" After answering yes, the repair is carried out, which requires a computer restart, but after the restart the same error message appears again. There is no indication of which file or add-on is causing the error |

error message trouble
Hi Dave,
Which version of Visio are you using? Does the message say which add-on is causing the problem? Have you installed any additional Visio-solutions/add-ons that might be causing a problem? Try looking under Tools Trust Center Add-ins (in Visio 2007) and see if anything looks odd. Note the "Manage COM Add-ins" button/drop-down at the bottom of the dialog. -- Hope this helps, Chris Roth Visio MVP Visio Guy: Smart Graphics for Visual People Articles: http://www.visguy.com Shapes: http://www.visguy.com/shapes Dev: http://www.visguy.com/category/development/ Forum: http://www.viguy.com/vgforum Dave Flounders wrote: I am receiving an errror message at the start-up of Visio that says "Visio could not find this add-on or one of it's files.

error message trouble
The problem has returned, but this time I think I have narrowed the problem
down to the Adobe Acrobat add-on. When the error massage appeared I noticed that the Abode Tools had disappeared from the toolbar. When I attempted the 'repair'option, this time I received a message telling me that I need to restart the computer to complete the add-on process for Acrobat.Can anyone suggest how to resolve this issue "Paul Herber" wrote: On Tue, 24 Mar 2009 04:48:01 -0700, Dave Flounders Dave wrote: "Paul Herber" wrote: On Sun, 22 Mar 2009 13:32:13 -0700, Dave Flounders Dave wrote: I am receiving an errror message at the start-up of Visio that says "Visio could not find this add-on or one of it's files.

error message trouble in Viso
It sounds like you already discovered the cause of the issue; you mentioned
the Adobe add-on for Visio. In some of the older versions of Adobe the add-on created some problems, however I believe this has been fixed in the more recent versions of Adobe.

Please help! error message trouble
Hello Helen,
I was also having this problem. In an older tip I found in a search, the recomendation was to delete the "C:\Documents and Settings\login name\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Visio" directory. However, it and the only file in it would always return. That file is "content.dat". Not sure how it is being built. Anyway, I decided to take a look in "content.dat". It turned out to be a simple text file which you can open in Notepad. It it is a list of items to load when Visio starts. In it I found references to the offending PDFMaker add-ins which I had previously deleted. You will have to identify the missing add-in causing your problem. I deleted the lines refering to the missing add-ins and saved the file. Now Visio starts without an error message.
