Then I launched the Visio drawing again.Īnd so now Visio Viewer 2016 works on Windows 7.
#Visio viewer plugin update#
Anyway, I quickly downloaded the update for Windows 7 圆4, and tried installing it. The description of the update seemed to make sense, why the file would be missing from a Windows 7 machine, and why Visio Viewer 2016 would needed. Google matched several DLL websites, but number 3 on the list of results was a link to an update from Microsoft. Not sure what to make of this just yet, I tried the most desperate (or smartest if you will) thing and searched Google for one of the filenames. If I searched the current machine, similar files were available. The missing files all appeared to be related. So i opened up the file C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office16\VVIEWER.DLL in Dependency Walker, and indeed, there were some missing dependencies. So if a DLL or EXE files has several dependencies, Dependency Walker will show this.
This is a tool which analyses dependency linkage between executable files. I opened up the Visio dll file in Dependency Walker.
But since Visio Viewer was a control Internet Explorer loaded, maybe where is some dependency it needed, but what? Maybe there is a crash or something in the Event Viewer? Nope. Maybe it was Internet Explorer security settings? Change everything to the lowest secure settings. However, after installing the viewer (I tried this with both 32-bit and 64-bit versions), I was still. So, the Visio viewer seemed to be an ideal option. Occasionally, I have the need to open a Visio diagram but don't have a need to create or modify them.
#Visio viewer plugin windows 10#
So i delete the registry keys for Visio from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWAR E\Microsof t\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility. Microsoft Visio Viewer on Windows 10 after disabling Internet Explorer 11. If I check the 32bit registry node, there is also an Alternate CLSID. Hey, is listed in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWAR E\Microsof t\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility! And there was even a suggestion that if the specific registry which blocks Visio Viewer was removed, Visio would launch. Visio files appear to be associated correctly.īut plugin does not load in Internet ExplorerĪt first, I thought this might have something to do with ActiveX Killbits, because when I tried to research the error, it appears the Visio Viewer Active X control was blocked. It is in fact where I first encountered the error This was tested on Windows 7, but it applies to Windows Server 2008 R2 as well.
