Visio Viewer 2007 and Windows 7

I ran into an issue today where I was unable to get the Visio Viewer 2007 working on my Windows 7 (64bit) installation. After some digging around on Google, I discovered this post that outlines the install the steps below. I added the direct links to the downloads for ease of use.

  1. Install Visio Viewer 2007
  2. Install Visio Viewer 2007 Service Pack 2 (SP2)
  3. Re-install Security Update for Microsoft Office Visio Viewer 2007 (KB973709)

After I followed these steps my Visio Viewer 2007 started working correctly on Windows 7.

I followed the download sequence and still have trouble locating the Visio Viewer 2007 program icon to launch the program even though the control panel shows that these 3 items are already added. However, Visio Viewer 2007 in the Control Panel does not carry an icon.
