    Problem: i have tested successfully on couple of machines where Visio not installed. but when i have deployed on user-based collection for certain users for pilot, some of users reported issue that Visio keeping installing again n again.

    Solution: Enable Automatically upgrade to the selected architecture. When we enable Automatically upgrade to the selected architecture, the MigrateArch value is TRUE.
    <Add OfficeClientEdition="64" Channel="MonthlyEnterprise" OfficeMgmtCOM="TRUE" Version="16.0.15601.20230" MigrateArch="TRUE">

    Problem: After installing Visio App , other office product getting crashed. and getting opened with safe mode.

    Solution: Install other required Office products along with Visio.

    Hi @Techkant,

    I have done 5 experiments for your case. I did the following experiments in order on a computer that had never installed Office.

    First, install ProPlus2021Volume and VisioPro2019Volume, channel: PerpetualVL2021, OfficeMgmtCOm: TRUE. SUCCEED in software center.

    Second, install ProPlus2021Volume and VisioPro2021Volume, channel: PerpetualVL2021, OfficeMgmtCOm: TRUE, MigrateArch: TRUE. SUCCEED in software center.

    Third, install VisioPro2019Volume, channel: MonthlyEnterprise, OfficeMgmtCOm: TRUE, MigrateArch: TRUE. Failed in software center. But the version of Visio is 2019 and requires safe mode to open Office2021.

    Fourth, install O365ProPlusRetail and VisioPro2021Volume, channel: MonthlyEnterprise, OfficeMgmtCOm: TRUE, MigrateArch: TRUE. SUCCEED in software center.

    Fifth, install ProPlus2021Volume and VisioPro2021Volume, channel: MonthlyEnterprise, OfficeMgmtCOm: TRUE, MigrateArch: TRUE. SUCCEED in software center. But the version of word is o365 and the version of visio is 2021.

    After the above five operations, we got the O365 version of Word and the 2021 version of Visio.
