I don't know if this works with a modern version of Visio, but I still think it's kind of neat none the less (I've been watching WAY to many crime dramas on TV...lol)

That link no longer works.
The crime scene plugin does not install on Windows 7 x64 due to the incompatibility with the installer.

Yep, confirmed, the MS Download version doesn't work on Win8 x64 either.

BUT the link in the comment above to the Visio 2010/2013 version does seem to work...

I am trying to figure out how to make a crime scene using visio, but I have no clue where or how to start it I have the visio 2013 and got the crime scene templates added but I'm confused, any advice?

Greg said...

@Jennifer Leppert Yeah, I just tried it on Windows 10/Visio 2016 and the CrimeScene installer didn't seem to work... I guess we're kind of hosed now. :(

Could someone extract the files and then post them on a file sharing site? All you need is a 32 bit Windows....

Thanks!
