Microsoft Microsoft Visio Viewer 2007

Create admin-install point:

visioviewer.exe /extract:C:\temp


Example deployment with AD or SMS:

msiexec /i vviewer.msi /qb

Note from Microsoft on languages, this is from http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/office/visio2003/depvisvw.mspx which is about the 2003 version, but it seems to be valid, still:


Note that the UI language used at any given time is determined by the Windows Multiple Language Interface (MUI) setting, as it is for Internet Explorer (the host application).  If the Windows MUI language has not been installed, the UI language will default to English.  This can be confusing at times.  For example: If you installed the Japanese version of the Visio Viewer on an English Windows system and MUI for that system is not set to Japanese, the Viewer UI will be English, as will the UI in Internet Explorer.

The Visio 2007 Viewer is implemented as an ActiveX control that loads and renders Visio drawings inside Internet Explorer.

Works out-of-the-box in LUA configurations

If you try to use AdminStudio Tuner to create a MST response transform, you will receive the following error:


The base Windows Installer package 'vviewer.msi' does not contain a recognizable user interface sequence.  Tuner cannot create a repsonse transform.  Do you want to create a blank transform project instead?


If you click Yes, it'll hang.  Instead, just use /qn command-lines to make the installation silent.

To suppress the End User License Agreement and to associate Visio Viewer with the .vsd, .vss, .vst, .vdx, .vsx and .vtx file types, add the following rows to the Property table of vviewer.msi (using Orca, for example):

Thanks very much to yipperz, who suggested this solution for the 2003 version of Visio Viewer. It works in the exact same way for Visio Viewer 2007.

To silently un-install the package use the following;


msiexec /qn /x {95120000-0052-0409-0000-0000000FF1CE}

You can install and patch Visio Viewer 2007 at the same time as installation with one command line:


start /w msiexec /i vviewer.msi /update VViewersp2-en-us.msp ALLUSERS=2 REBOOT=ReallySuppress /qn /Liv %temp%\vviewer.log
