C# ApplicationObject.CreateDocument() Fails

When trying to create a CorelDraw 12 document within a C# windows forms application, I receive the following error:

Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.

I've added the references to CorelDraw12 and VGCore. A code sample is listed below ...

try
{
CorelDRAW.Application draw = new CorelDRAW.Application();
draw.Visible = true;
CorelDRAW.Document doc = draw.CreateDocument();
CorelDRAW.Shape rect = doc.ActiveLayer.CreateRectangle2(0, 0, 2, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0);
rect.Fill.UniformColor.RGBAssign(255, 0, 0);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);

}


I'm using Visual Studio 2008 Pro, CorelDraw 12 & Windows XP SP2.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Steve

The issue was machine specific.
