We are using visio 2003 on windows xp and also in a terminal server
environment running on server 2003. The problem is if there is a visio
document on a network share with a folder name of "123 -stest" or "123
-stest" or "test -s", visio tries to reinstall itself and never opens the
visio document. The same visio document can be copied to a folder that does
not have a -s in the folder name and it opens just fine. During testing of
this error, I noticed in order to recreate the error, the folder name cannot
just be -s, or the visio document will open just fine. The name of the
folder must be in the format of "something -s". The folder that we
discovered this problem on was named "149 -Sonia Lastname". Does anyone have
any idea what could cause visio to try to reinstall itself and never open a
document because of a -s in the folder name containing the visio document? I
hope I am making sense... Also, I'm aware that the easy fix would be to take
the - out of the folder structures however these folders with the - in the
names are part of an access database program created by one of our users and
it would require extensive re-tooling of her application, the folders, and
coding in order to remove the dashes. So as the good little sys admin that I
am, I figured I would try to find a fix before I have her do a ton of work.
Thanks for any help!
