Hi there! Welcome to my blog. My name is Ivan. I am a Dutch IT Professional working as Principal IT Consultant. In an enterprise environment Microsoft Visio is a common tool to see. The price for a single license is significant so you don’t want to load this to as default installation on all your clients. Microsoft provides a small viewer for Visio drawings which is integrated with Internet Explorer.
The Visio Viewer allows anyone to view Visio drawings and diagrams (created with Visio 5.0, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2007 or 2010) inside their Internet Explorer version 6.0 or later Web browser. Visio users can freely distribute Visio drawings and diagrams to team members, partners, customers, or others, even if the recipients do not have Visio installed on their computers. Internet Explorer also allows for printing, although this is limited to the portion of the drawing displayed.
I would like to include this add-on to all of my clients. A small script is needed to automatically distribute this. You can use software distribution mechanism you have but preferably SMS/SCCM server from Microsoft.
How to silently install Microsoft Visio Viewer?
- Download the installation file from Microsoft Download Center
- Create a CMD text file visioviewer.cmd
-
@echo off REM Install Microsoft Visio Viewer 2010 visioviewer.exe /quiet /norestart
