Summary

Details

This issue is caused by an incompatibility between Microsoft Visio 64-bit Microsoft Visual Studio 32-bit versions. Microsoft Visual Studio is not available in 64-bit mode at this time. If you want to run AgilePoint Envision on the same 64-bit machine as AgilePoint Developer, it is recommended that you install Microsoft Visio (and AgilePoint Envision) in 32-bit mode.

When running in 32-bit mode, Visual Studio cannot load a 64-bit application (e.g., Visio). This is required for the Web Application Wizard.

If you cannot install Visio in 32-bit mode on your machine, it is recommended that you use a VPC or a colleague's machine that does have 32-bit Visio and Visual Studio installed when you initially generate a web application using the Web Application Wizard. Then you can move the generated files to your machine and continue your work. This is a one-time event for each web application.
