Could not create an instance of Start up object

I have a Word document file created within Word 2003 with an attached manifest created using VSTO SE.  I am attempting to open this file within another environment that has Word 2007 and here are the details I get for the error, 'Office document customization is not available'.  It sees that the customization assembly is there but it gives an CannotCreateStartupObjectException exception.  The customization assembly, RunningReport.dll only uses Office 2007 files.  Does anyone know what I can do to get this file open correctly in a Word 2007 environment?



Could not create an instance of startup object RunningReport.ThisDocument in assembly RunningReport, Version=1.0.3574.24309, Culture=neutral.

Hello asdfssdff,

Welcome to MSDN forums!

I'm going to help you to trouble shoot the problem. In normal case a customization which was built in VSTO 2005 SE will run in Office 2007 environment without any problem.

Please note following things:

Please make sure you have Office PIAs installed in your client machine.

Please make sure you have grant full trust to the assembly, in order to get permission to run it.

Most possible thing is you have some errors in your startup method, so one thing you could try is comment all the code in startup method and run it again.

Hope this helps you, looking forward to your feedback.

Thanks.

Hello and thanks for the response.

I do have all of the Office PIA's installed, it has full trust, and I commented out all of the code for the startup method and this didn't change anything.  Does anyone have any ideas?
