unable to install Visio 2003 - error 1603

Mai Romberg · External Since: Oct 25, 2005 Posts: 1

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 keyword "check", "instance" etc and no success.

I went through the process and commented out the "Setup has detected...newer version..." and that allowed the install to start, but it keeps failing out after that. Are there any other steps to get this to work?

Thank you.

in the xml look for <table name="LaunchCondition">
under that it has
OVERRIDEDITIONDGBLOCK=1
change it to
OVERRIDEDITIONDGBLOCK=""

it comes up twice and I changed both.

that fixed the install issue

Basically OVERRIDEDITIONDGBLOCK is not set by default so I set the condition check to "" and it passes that part.

Not sure if there is a more graceful way of maybe passing a 1 to the installer for that OVERRIDEDITIONDGBLOCK rather than hitting the install file with the hammer.
