itecgirl..... There are several things which could be happening .......
One is that if your O/S can't pass the WGA test the "visio" app might fail when installing or the copy you are using is in fact corrupt .......
See if you can D/l the trial version of visio from ......
http://office.microsoft.com/en-au/FX010857981033.aspx  and see if it will install.
