    Barb,

        To me this is not "Works as Designed". This is a BUG
    and should be fixed. Who wants to see 120 MsiInstaller
    Informational messages in the Event Viewer about "Can't
    Connect to Server" every time you start Visio?

    >-----Original Message-----
    >Actually, the message you describe is normal behavior
    for Visio on systems
    >running Windows Installer 1.2 and above. It does not
    indicate an error -
    >and nothing is wrong with your Visio installation. Here
    is an article on
    >the knowledge Base which discusses the concern :

    When You Start Visio

    >As the article mentions, there is some (normal)
    installer activity when
    >Visio 2000 and 2002 launch which cause the Installer to
    record these
    >messages. Sorry for the confusion.
