Hello,
Crime scenes add-in is fully supported only by Visio 2000 version. Visio
2003 is not supportable for this add-in. We may use this add-in under Visio
2003 with some limitations.
1. Create a file called visio.ini, using notepad, in the directory:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Visio11 and then point out this directory
during the crime scene add-in installation which will do the following:
a. creates two text files in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Visio11
named as: Solution License Agreement.txt and Crime Scenes Readme.txt
b. creates an uninstallation file: DeIsL1.isu and create a folder named
Solutions where a subdirectory called Crime Scenes present with the
required .vst & .vss
files for the add-in.
2. In order to get the Crime Scenes in the File - New and under Choose
Drawing Type of Visio 2003, do the following: ( if the files for Crime
Scenes are in the same
directory, simply follow the steps below.)
a. Make sure the files for the add-in present under a folder called Crime
Scenes.
b. Launch Visio; select TOOLS --> OPTIONS-->ADVANCED; click on FILE PATHS
button; provide the parent directory under the TEMPLATES
( Ex: enter C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Visio11\Solutions; if the
folder Crime Scenes present under Solutions folder. NOTE: Make sure to put
the semi colon)
and click the OK button twice. Then close Visio and re-launch it. You will
find Crime Scenes in the File -New as well as in Choose Drawing type.
3. You can use the templates as usual under Visio 2003; but, it is not
possible to get help for the shapes of the add-in as like in Visio 2000.
Hope this helps.
