I have the same problem.
From Add/Remove programs I removed ALL office products...
I ran Windows Install Cleanup Utility. It shows no Office products
installed...
I followed Method 1, 2, 3, 7, 9 in this KB article...
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;304498
I deleted the remaining C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office folder...
I reinstalled Office Professional 2003. No problems here...
When I try to install Visio 2003 I get the same message saying a newer
version is installed.
This is frustrating!
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
