Good luck, Joe From: Sam Cayze [mailto:sam.ca...@rollouts.com] Sent: Thursday, September 16, 2010 3:53 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Visio Viewer FAIL Has anyone successfully deployed Visio Viewer in their environment? I can't seem to get it to work. 1. Apparently, the KillBit's in KB 973525 destroyed it. 2. If you delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility {279D6C9A-652E-4833-BEFC-312CA8887857} It should work according to many... doesn't for me. I have googled everywhere, everyone has problems... I can't get it to work, and I am not going to buy 20 licenses for the Full version just because of this. I have tried the 2003, 2007, and the 2010 version. Most of the time, a red 'x' displays in IE. In a few machines, I can get it to work, but get an ActiveX error every time I open a VSD file. Environment: XP Pro SP3, with Office 2003 SP.Latest Thanks in advance, Sam ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
