Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

1. Start a new project in Visual Basic and open the project you want to reverse
  engineer.

  menu, bring up Add-In Manager from Add-Ins menu.

3. From the Available Add-Ins list, find Visual Modeler Add-In and Visual
  Modeler Menus Add-In. Place a check next to Loaded/Unloaded as the Load
  Behavior for both.

  the Add-Ins menu.

5. A dialog box, titled Reverse Engineering Wizard, is displayed. Click New to
