Visio Product IDs

[Marc Sewell]

In creating an MSI checkto see if Visio 2003 is
installed and have encountered three product Ids for
Visio 2003. What is the best way to verify that Visio
2003, any version, is installed?

thanks

How are you checking and what are you finding?

In the Registry, Visio 2003 will show up as 11.0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Visio\CurrentlyRegisteredV
ersion
for the flavour of Visio,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Visio\1033\InstalledVersio
n
will show 30 for Pro and 20 for Std.

Much better way than I had been doing. Thanks.

BTW, on my machine
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\11.0
\Visio\1033\EditionOrdinal has 20 or 30 for flavor and
\1033\InstalledVersion has version release,
11.0.3216.5614.

Thanks,
