You can name yours whatever you want.Īfter several trial and error attempts using different configuration settings, I finally reduced it to the following config file which targets only Visio for the CLick-to-Run install. I ended up making a new config file called installvisio.xml using Notepad. You then need to edit the config file for your install. I then ran the self extracting file and put it in a folder called “deployment” on my c:\ drive. Needless to say, it installed the Click-to-Run version and when I opened it for the first time, I selected Use a Key instead of logging into the account and it validated and ran.įirst I downloaded the Office Deployment Tool from the Microsoft Download Center. After reading through this several times and thinking about it, I set up the config file to just install Vsio Retail (Click-to-Run) since I already had Office 365 ProPlus. Low and behold it had information about installing Viso Retail. So after doing a little more digging, I found this Overview of the Office Deployment Tool. I do have to say, she followed her prompts as she was trained. So why not, submit my ticket, and within 20 minutes Microsoft Tech Support was ringing my phone. I found a site that said to submit a ticket through the portal in the admin panel for 365 because Microsoft had a work around. Office 365 is Click-to-Run was forcing Visio to also have to be Click-to-Run to install. I went and asked Google all about it and it turns out that Microsoft does not allow different installers to be used at the same time.

Well, no it wasn’t, it was 64 bit and I was installing a 64 bit version of Visio. When I ran the install, I received an error that Office 365 was not 32 bit. Well it turns out that Visio Pro 2016 standalone is installed by Microsoft Installer.

I then wanted to install a standalone version of Visio Pro 2016 which I had an ISO image and key (NOT A SUBSCRIPTION). I had Office 365 ProPlus Subscription (Click-to-Run) installed on my Windows 10 computer. I am not going to try and add a lot of fluff, this is the Cliff Notes version of getting Visio Standalone installed along with Microsoft Office 365 ProPlus.
