Take the tour ×  I have a task to create empty Visio document
file (.vsd) with single page in it and drop few shapes there. My
problem is that I have to write Windows console application for
this purpose and it must run in the server environment where
Visio is not installed. Is it possible to do that?  If I run
application on my development environment, new instance of Visio
is started. But, on my server, where my application must run,
Visio is not installed and Visio application launch will fail.
What I can do in this situation?  Edit: Getting Visio installed
on servers is not an option.  share|improve this question You
