I tried installing MS Visio Studio, but all I received was an error that read "Setup cannot continue because a required file is either corrupted or not available. Run setup again from the original source disc or download location.I have tried installing twice from the orginal cd but each time I try I receive the same error message. Anyting I can do to get around that? Thanks.
