Viewer 2007 doesn't associate/open

[the_StreaK_]

Hi, I cannot get the Viewer to invoke...only the full
version will associate/open -- current configuration: Visio 2007 Standard
SP2 with Visio 2007 Viewer SP2 on 2008 TS / IE7. I've done the usual per
prior successful environments, ie installing Viewer last/after full version
etc...no deal...

Here are the exact conditions, only they are running 2003 viewer -- I have
the same suspect windows update installed (KB973525):

I don't see an official solution from MS on this -- if there is one/I've
missed it, please confirm....I'm looking for a permanent fix for this, not
wanting to remove a 'critical' update in order to fix a glitch or hack around
only to have it be undone with the next security update... please advise,
Thanks-

Unfortunately the world is filled with people who are looking to do things
that many others would consider unethical, security patches are now a fact
of life and they are going to remain a moving target. It's up to us
individually to decide what risk/reward we want to live with.
