Browser Tool General Installation Instructions
Visio 2002/3 DSP home  This page

Overview

All of the tools are provided as executables. Many of the tools which interact with the running Visio application are also provided in VSL form. because of the in-process nature of the VSL versions, they tend to be much faster, providing listings very much more rapidly than the standalone Exe versions. The Exe versions may be useful where you encounter a problem running the VSL versions, or simply want less commitment.

Tool Installation

The Exe versions of all tools require no special installation. You can run them simply by double-clicking the appropriate Exe file in Windows Explorer. You may optionally create a Shortcut or Start Menu item in the usual Windows ways.

To install the VSL versions, you simply drag the appropriate VSL file into a subdirectory of the Visio\...\Solutions directory. When you restart Visio, you can launch the VSL-based tool from Visio's Tools > Addons menu. (Note that the Addons menu only appears if you are running Visio in Developer mode: see Tools > Options > Advanced).

None of the tools store any settings in the Registry, so they may be uninstalled simply by deleting.
