    B. Paste this file to the Visio 2003 installation folder ...\Visio11\1033.
  3. Download the file XMIExprt.exe from the Microsoft download page. See Related Information for a link to the Microsoft downloads page.

     Search for the keywords UML or XMI at the Microsoft downloads page. There should be two or three returned links depending on the keyword used. Ensure the link for Visio 2003 is selected.
