Step 1: Associate Visio with Your Account

To install Visio, a license needs to be associated with your Microsoft account or work or school account. The version of Visio you have will determine which account you use. This process is compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows operating systems.

The installation file we'll be using is an offline installer and standalone setup for Office 2016 + Visio + Project May 2018 Edition. You can download the file from our website by clicking on the 'Start' button below:

Step 2: Install Visio

Once you've downloaded the installation file, follow these steps to install Visio:

1. Click on the downloaded file to run it.

2. Follow the prompts in Step 3: Install Visio to complete the installation.

If you see a User Account Control prompt that says, 'Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?', select Yes.

Step 3: Complete the Installation

Depending on your browser, select one of the following options:

* Run (in Edge or Internet Explorer)

* Setup (in Chrome)

* Save File (in Firefox)

Follow the prompts in Step 3: Install Visio to complete the installation. You'll know the installation is finished when you see the phrase 'You're all set! Visio is installed now' and an animation plays to show you where to find the Visio app on your computer.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you're having trouble finding Visio after installing it, follow these steps:

1. Locate Visio from the list of apps.

2. Choose your language.

3. Choose your PC's bit version (64-bit or 32-bit).

4. Select Install Visio.

If you don't see Visio listed as an install option under My Installs, it could mean you don't have a license. Check your assigned licenses and contact your admin for help if needed.
