I got the following error message: "Setup has detected a version of viso 2003
already installed on your compute that is newer tahn the version you are
trying to install. We recommanded that you keep the currently-installed
version. If you want to continue this installation, first uninstall the newer
version, then run this setup program again."

But I can't see Visio 2003 on Software Applet to uninstall. What should I do?

Thank you in advance

Hi Kevin,

i've used msi2xml (convert MSI Packages to XML) to throw out "check of
instance of visio 2003", save my XML document and convert my XML to MSI
(xml2Msi) again. After that you can install Visio 2003 with your new MSI
Package.

Best regards

Mai

Which lines should I delete from XML file to get rid of "check of instance
of visio 2003"? I searched XML by keywords like "check", "instance" etc and
no success.

I'm not sure which XML file you may be referring to. Can you be more
specific about what you are doing, and how the message occurs? Is this
something you are seeing in a log file during a failed install, for
instance?

Searching on the KB, I found the following article referencing the keywords
"Visio 2003 1603 XML" :
886988 How to obtain and use the MS04-028 Enterprise Update Scanning Tool
in environments that do not use Systems Management Server
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;886988

Let me know if that relates to your issue, and if the steps listed help
your situation.
