Thanks.
You are right.
I was unable to open .vsd file (visio) in IE. I installed/uninstalled vviewer from ms site but no use.
After reading your comment. I uninstalled this security update) number : KB973525 ( control pannel ( check "show updates " check box at top)
Ant i can see .vsd file now....Wow!!
Couldn't have dreamed of this solution.
These MS guys are getting over smart to hurt themselves and all others.

Visio Viewer Not Working
I instructed some people who needed my drawings to download the Microsoft
Visio 2007 Viewer, but the drawings are not opening up in the viewer. Any
ideas what might be happening?

They are using IE 7. I am working with Visio 2003 drawings. I had them
install the Visio 2007 Viewer because it said it was compatible with
previous versions, and I plan to upgrade to 2007 in the near future.
They are accessing the drawings through a Shared Document Workspace on a
Windows SharePoint Services 2007 site. The drawings are working correctly in
machines that have Visio 2003 installed.

What OS and SP are your users on?
So, it doesn't work on PCs that have no Visio installed?
Do they see anything at all in IE 7 .. for example the Visio Viewer toolbar?

the user clicks on the file he sees a white screen and the word "Done" in
the status bar. I just tried installing it on an older machine with IE 7 and
WINXP Home on it, and it worked.

Since the viewer is an ActiveX control running inside of IE, there may be
some high-security settings in control which are preventing the viewer
control from behaving properly. They should check for spyware blockers and
virus scanners that may be blocking the viewer as an IE addin, and if they
are logged into a domain, check for domain security policies that could be
involved.
In the past, I've seen problems when exuberant administrators lock things
down tightly with IEAK (Internet Explorer Administrators Kit) tools.

Re: Visio Viewer Not Working
Check if KB932168 is installed?
Uninstall and try again - does it work?
Reinstall KB932168 - blank page again?

Visio viewer 2007 opens a Blank IE page
If your IE page is blank then I found what the issue is. If the Visio files were created on another PC then do this.
Right click on the file and go to properties on the general tab near the bottom where it says Security it will say something about the files was made on another PC and may be blocked. Click Unblock, apply, OK then double click it.
If the file was not made on another PC then then section will not be there.
Visio Viewer not working
PC configuration - Windows XP SP2, IE6 SP2, Visio Viewer 2007 with SP1
Same problem of not being able to see anything in IE after double clicking a viso file with extensions vsd, vdx.
I found an old set of sample files from Viso Viewer 2003 that also inclued a htm file. Opening that actually worked - showing the sample visio file!
The contents of the htm file viewed in notepad showed:
==============
<html>
<head>
<title>Microsoft Visio Viewer Sample Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>
<!--
If you want the Visio Viewer to autoinstall when a user navigates to your web page,
you will want to substitute the following line for the equivalent line below:

<param name="CurrentPageIndex" value="0">
<param name="Zoom" value="-1">
</object>
</p>
</body>
</html>
================
I noted that the name of the sample visio file was in the line <param name="SRC"...>.
So I replaced the name of the visio file with the one that I wanted to see, saved the modified htm file in the same directory as the visio file.
When I then double clicked on the revised htm file - presto! I could see the viso drawing, with the associated visio viewer toolbars to enlarge etc in a window in IE.
Does this give you any clues as to why the normal method will not work?
So from now on, although it is a pain, looks like I'll have to do it this way until someone comes up with the solution that works by just double clicking the visio file.

If you want the code, please email me and I can send it.

Last try - I've replaced "<" with "[" and ">" with "]". It should show correctly now.
