Installing Visio for Enterprise Architects without installing the prerequisite Visual Studio

Today I faced a problem while installing Visio (Enterprise Architects version) on my work machine... Tried searching the net for solutions, but didn't find much. However, I still believed there was a way... After more searching, I found this amazing wicked method... Follow me :)

Open the registry at the following key:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\Setup\VS\VSTD\

Of course, if you didn't find any part of this path, create it till the end...

Afterwards, inside VSTD, create a String key with name "ProductDir" and put any text inside it.

Voilaaa, VSTA installation will start like a sparky :)

Enjoy it till it lasts...
