Installing the Visio Accident Reporting and Crime Scene Solution on the Same Computer
The Crime Scenes and Accident Reporting solutions include templates that have the same file names. If you install both solutions, the second installation deletes files that you installed with the first solution.

To avoid losing files during the second installation:
 * 1) When the installer asks whether you want to delete or back up older files, choose the backup option.
 * 2) After the second installation is finished, locate the folder that contains the backed-up files.
 * 3) Do one of the following:
 * 4) * If you installed the Crime Scenes solution after you installed the Accident Reporting solution, copy the files from the Accident Reporting backup folder (located in the Visio\Solutions folder) into the Visio\Solutions\Accident Reporting folder.
 * 5) * If you installed the Accident Reporting solution after you installed the Crime Scenes solution, copy the files from the Crime Scenes backup folder (located in the Visio program folder) into the Visio\Solution\Crime Scenes folder.
