RE: Unable to open .vsd using Visio 2007 Viewer

I'm not aware of compatibility issues due to version differences. Each
version has some new unique abilities, but the file versions tend to be the
same. Since the Viewer cannot open the file, I suspect it may be corrupt.
If you want to make the file available, someone might be able to try opening
it.

Hi,

I installed Visio 2007 Professional, but de-installed it as I did not want
to activate it (after the trial period).

Someone pointed me to Visio Viewer which should enable me to view the
vsd-files. I installed Visio 2002/XP. But it turned out that the vsd-file was
incompatible with my 2002/XP installation. So I de-installed Viewer 2002/XP.

Next I installed Visio Viewer 2007. The icon of the vsd-file did not change
(from the unrecognised form to the Visio form). Double clicking the vsd-file
did not start up my viewer. But looking at my software list learns me
'Microsoft Office Visio Viewer 2007' is installed.

What do I need to do to get the viewer working?
