My case is similar but my upgrade version is Visio Pro 2002 instead of 2003.
I bought a new laptop and uninstalled Visio Pro 2002 (that required the Visio 5 to be fully installled on the machine to proceed) off my retired home PC. This all worked fine in XP.
The upgrade policy for any version of Microsoft Visio was for any version of Visio since it became a Microsoft product. Visio 5 was released by ShapeWare/Visio Corporation. Their last version was Visio 2000. The bear and the dragon pdf download torrent. Microsoft's first version was Microsoft Visio 2000 (Visio 2000 with a few patches plus MS branding.).
The Visio Pro 2002 won't load because it wants Visio 5 installed and as the thread leader points out Visio 5 won't load on Windows 7. I would be willing to buy an upgrade If I would know the installer covers cases like this perhaps by verifying the visio 5 disk then then visio 2002, then then latest.
In cases such as mine I really just trying to have at home the tool I use at work for the odd project and I can't justify repurchasing something I have on my work laptop because the version's came from the other company.
Thanks for the history link and policy clarification. I can't say I agree with it. Most of us would keep upgrading but I can't spend $900 for a product I'll use a handful of times in a year so I will turn on my work laptop and make magical Visio drawings there.
Either you’ve never heard of Microsoft Visio, or you use it all the time. For those not in the know, Visio is a structured drawing application, originally acquired by Microsoft in 2000, that subsequently became part of the Office family of products. It’s a very powerful and flexible app, usable for many different purposes, but its main function is to help users draw flowcharts, control diagrams, layouts, and other structured graphical ways of presenting information. Visio is terrific for creating organization charts, workflow charts, and many other kinds of graphics. The app lets users quickly create complex and professional-looking flowcharts, and integrates smoothly into PowerPoint or other Office documents for easy sharing. If you need a diagram made quickly, chances are you’ll be using Visio to make your chart.

However, because Visio is part of the Office suite, it’s an expensive program if you don’t already have access to it. You either have to buy Office 2019, or sign up for Microsoft’s Office 365 subscription service to use the product, or subscribe to a standalone Visio Online subscription for $5/user/month, or to the offline version for $15/user/month. In addition, there is no version of Visio for Mac OS X, so Mac users are locked out of the platform. Visio is a great application, and if you have access to it, you probably don’t need any alternatives. However, if you don’t have access to it, or if you just want to try something different, there are a number of alternatives to try out on your PC. Visio alternatives are a dime a dozen online, but not every application is created equally. Here’s our picks for the best Visio alternatives in 2019.
