  We are using w2k3, cps3, visio viewer and visio 2003 on a set of servers.

  We want visio viewer as the default for opening visio files.  Which we have 
enforce via gpo.

  When visio opens it sees this and runs msiexec to reset, which the users 
cannot do.  Goes in no problem.

  Problem with sharepoint however.  There is an option in sharepoint to "edit" 
with visio.

  When this is selected it fails saying The document could not be edited.  The 
required application may not be installed properly...

  So I don't really know how to solve this.  What I wanted to try was set visio 
to run with the /noreg command line as a default.  I have searched thru the 
registry and there are tonnes of places where visio.exe is referenced so I 
don't know where to start.  This prevents visio from looking at this and 
msiexec from running.  I don't know if that will make sharepoint work or not.

  Any suggests for the problem or how to set visio to open with /noreg would be 
helpful.
