SP2 for Visio 2003 for Enterprise Architects

[decpersona]

I just installed Visio 2003 for Enterprise Architects and I tried to
install Visio SP2, but it didn't work. I didn't realise that it applied
for only Standard and Professional editions, so
Is there any SP2 for Visio 2003 Enterprise Architects?

Careful.

VEA 2003 is actually VEA with Visio 2002, VEA 2005 comes with Visio 2003. So
you are probably attempting to update Visio 2002 with a Visio 2003 update.

Actually, I'm pretty sure I'm trying to update Visio EA 2003 with Visio
2003 SP2, it's just that when i try to apply it, it says I haven't
installed the product yet.

If you have VEA 2003, you do not have Visio 2003. Try opening Visio and see
what the about box says.

why are u assuming i have visual studio 2003 for enterprise architects?
i have the architect verion of visual studio 2005 team system, which
comes with visio 2003 EA, so i dont have the 2002 version. and fyi it's
version 11 in the about box.

The start of your first message was "I just installed Visio 2003 for
Enterprise Architects".

I was just clarifying whether the product name was an issue. VEA 2003 was
released before Visio 2003, so it contains Visio 2002. The 2003 refers to EA
rather than the version of Visio. The same is true for VEA 2005. The 2005
refers to EA and contains Visio 2003. The current version of Visio is Visio
2003 (version 11) and the next release will be Visio 2007 (version 12). So
questions do arise as to why Visio 2003 drawings can not be opend in VEA
2003.

I believe you must use Visual Studio service packs (not yet available) to
update the Visio that comes with Visual Studio.
