Visio Services: there are no addresses available for this application

 

While doing a demo for Visio Services in SharePoint 2010 I got the following “perfectly clear and obvious” error message.

 

The fix was quite simple… go start the Visio service in Central Administration! 

 

This error occurs for other services, such as the Document ID services and BCS, and the solution is generally the same: start the service and/or make sure the configuration is correct.
