Upgrade 2002 to 2003 via clean computer

[Rich R]

I have Visio 2002, but not loaded on any computer. When I purchase Visio 2003, should I load Visio 2002 on my new computer first and then 2003 or should I just load in Visio 2003 into my new computer?

if you're installing an upgrade then you have to have an existing copy
already on the machine, if not you don't

Al, it was my understanding you could leave the previous version off and
just use the CD to provide proof, as Office itself allows. ???

AFAIK some people have tried it and found out you did have to load the
previous (visio). It could have been incomplete feedback. I've been burned
so many times with upgrades that I have given up on them and usually 'bite
the bullet' on a new one if I really need a stable product.
Have a great one,
