So frustrated! I downloaded all of the patches for VV2007 and I still got the ...."not able to complete this operation" message. So I uninstalled 2007 and installed 2010....I STILL get the message. What could I be doing wrong?

Hi, Visio related help needed !

Please let me know if I need to post this somewhere else, but I'm not having much luck finding an answer elsewhere as yet...

New job this week, new laptop - HP G62 with Win 7 Home Prem, registered the trial version of Office Prof 2010, downloaded Visio Viewer 2010.

I have Chrome as def browser, but IE 8 is also working normally.

Trying to view Visio diagrams embedded in Word docs, either saved as 97/2003 or 2007 versions, double click on the diag and all I get is the following error pop-up...

"The server application, source file, or item cannot be found. Make sure that the application is properly installed.......".

Right-click on the vsd and it recognizes Visio as I get a convert document option, click that and I get the same error above.

Any ideas please ?

Thanks

Thanks a lot.

To me it works with Visio Viewer 2010 (Beta). In my mind, we should try with the latest one first as it will include all fixes there.

The risk to apply many patches and run the security patch many worser than using beta release :)

Post-Scriptum #1 : I saw that information here :

Post-Scriptum #2 : a simpler way to do it, OTHER than installing Word on the PC where Visio is installed (I already could think of that one by myself).

It took me some time to discover it, so some of you might be interested to learn that the Visio Viewer does NOT display Visio STENCILS, regardless of the version and patch level of the Viewer.

I have downloaded diagrams of various IT equipments on http://www.visiocafe.com/, and I wanted to use them in a Word document that I write on a PC where Visio is not installed. I've tried the two solutions above, but to no avail. So I opened them on a another PC where Visio is installed (but where Word is not), exported them as PNG pictures, and then took them back to the first PC. If anyone knows of a simpler way to do it, I'd glad to read about it.

the link in step 2.iii is giving me a 400 error - invalid URL.

I don't see a way to notify anyone except this comment section. I don't see a contact for the webmaster. Also, this page is kind of confusing because it looks like there is a navigation bar at the top of the page, with "home", "email", "about" etc. but none of those words are linked.

Thanks a million, i was stuck with this issue for 2 days and was not able to find any reference anywhere. After following step number 2, it worked like a charm.
