        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Visio Viewer is an activeX plugin for IE 5 and up.

I've tried it with both Wine's builtin iexplore and
with the Mozilla ActiveX Plugin on Firefox 1.0.7
(the last release supported by the plugin), no joy so far.

The plugin installer can be downloaded from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=8fad9237-c0a7-4b80-...

Firefox 1.0.7 can be downloaded from
ftp://archive.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.0.7/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%201.0.7.exe

The Mozilla ActiveX Plugin can be downloaded from
http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/plugin.htm

To test the plugin after installation, try viewing
Program Files/Microsoft Office/Visio Viewer/sample.htm

The symptom is that sample.htm is simply blank.

Removing deprecated CVS/GIT version tag. Please retest in current git. If the
bug is still present in today's wine, but was not present in some earlier
version of wine, please update version field to earliest known version of wine
that had the bug. Thanks!

The 2002 version is no longer online. The 2003 is, at
http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/5/2/452f8090-413f-408f-83c0-edd66db...,
but MS says it may go down on April 1, 2010 (guess they forgot)...

Testing in wine's iexplore, still have a blank page. Didn't try in firefox.

Someone at work sent me a visio document to view, so this is now a dogfood
issue.

The 2010 version is at 
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=F9ED50B0-C7DF-4FB8-...
1e729fd6d70e442bf4daeb230240e7746aa69e9a  visioviewer.exe
It says it installs fine.

Sample visio documents can be downloaded from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=716C617E-4F9C-4829-...

I uploaded one of those to 
http://kegel.com/wine/UML.vsd
for testing.  With builtin iexplore, it shows gibberish text.  With 
winetricks ie6, it claims there's no handler for this file.

Noticed that when I installed the plugin it installs the files in two different
Program directories eg:

The following by itself:

c:\PROGRA~1\vviewer.msi

The rest of the installation appears:

c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Visio Viewer\

readme.htm
sample.htm
sample.vsd
sample1.vdx
vieweula.htm
vviewdwg.dll
vviewer.chm
vviewer.dll
vviewpss.htm
vviewres.dll

-------
Double clicking on either sample.vsd or sample1.vdx brings up an windows error
dialog that says "Success"

> c:\PROGRA~1\vviewer.msi

The installer uses an inf script to install this file:

[version]
signature="$CHICAGO$"
[DefaultInstall]
CopyFiles=Setup.Files
[SourceDisksNames]
55="Setup Tools",,0
[DestinationDirs]
Setup.Files      =24,%DESTINATION%
[SourceDisksFiles]
vviewer.msi=55
[Setup.Files]
vviewer.msi
[Strings]
DESTINATION="PROGRA~1\VViewer"

vviewer.msi is installed in "C:\Program Files\VViewer" on Windows, so it
looks like Wine fails to expand the destination filename.

This is probably not related to the original problem reported here.

This is probably a wontfix, short directory name "PROGRA~1" is not guaranteed
to expand to "Program Files" even under Windows.

Considering that neither 2002/2003 are online anymore, I think it's safe to
close this.

I missed that, yeah. But it seems that this was a WONTFIX anyway, unless you
really care about this old version..

I guess I'm happy abandoning it for now.  If someone needs it we can reopen.
