Image media for Visio Standard 2016 C2R-P

Question

Hi,

We purchased in the past a Visio Standard 2016 CR2-P license.

We would like to install it in a new laptop but the Visio Standard ISO install says the license is not compatible.

Where can we download an installer for this version? I only see mentions of the office deployment tool, but those are for people that have Office 365 or Office C2R to be installed along with Standard or Pro licenses of Project or Visio. Not my case.

Thanks again,

Miguel

Hi @Miguel G

Visio Standard 2016 C2R-P means Visio Standard 2016 Click-to-Run Perpetual (C2R-P) release which uses ODT to download the C2R installation packge. As you said, it can installed with Microsoft 365 Apps.

If you want the traditional MSI installation package for volume licensed Visio Standard 2016, you need to go to VLSC.

------ Modify ------

To download the Visio Standard 2016 C2R-P installation package, please try following steps. For more, you can refer to "Use the Office Deployment Tool to install volume licensed versions of Project 2016 and Visio 2016".

• Download ODT and extract files to one folder, such as the folder called "ODT".
• Prepare the configuration file (.xml), you can also put it in "ODT" folder with "Setup.exe" of ODT. Let us call this .xml file as "Visio2016.xml". If you need 64-bit, you can modify OfficeClientEdition to be 64.

   <Configuration>
     <Add OfficeClientEdition="32" >
       <Product ID="VisioStdXVolume" >
           <Language ID="en-us" />
        </Product>
      </Add>  
   </Configuration>

• Run Command Prompt as Administrator, enter cd command to locate to "ODT" folder. cd C:\ODT --- cd <ODT folder path>
• Then enter the command below to download the installation package. There will be an "Office" folder created in "ODT" folder. Please Note, you need to wait for some minutes. Here the "Office" folder is about 3.22 GB. setup.exe /download Visio2016.xml
• If you want to install Visio Standard 2016 C2R-P, please copy the whole ODT folder to the location that the machines can access. Please do not re-name the "ODT" folder.
• Then run Command Prompt as Administrator again. Enter cd command to locate to "ODT" folder, and enter setup.exe /configure Visio2016.xml to install Visio.

• Please note, for Visio C2R-P verisons, the regular MAK keys of MSI verisons do not apply to them. The new correct MAK key needs IT log into the VLSC and use the key listed under "C2R-P for use with the Office Deployment Tool."

Any issues, welcome to post back.

Answer 2

Many thanks Emily for your quick answer. I guess ODT stands for office deployment tool. How do I download the package for C2R-P for Visio 2016 Standard 32 bits? Can you show me the steps? The instructions are confusing and I don't fin how I download the package and install it.

Answer 3

Also, from VLSC can I download an MSI package for installing Visio? If so, can you let me know which specific package do I have to download? The IT guys sent me a volume installer but after installing Visio it says the license doesn't work but with that installer regular MAK non C2R licenses do work.

Answer 4

Yes, the ISO that the IT people gave me have the admin folder.

However, I need an installer for the C2R-P license not regular MAK license.

So, is it possible to download the installer from VLSC for C2R-P licenses?

If not, what are the steps for using ODT?

Thanks,

Miguel

Answer 5

Thanks for your answer. The issue here it´s those laptops are completely offline. That´s why I need an ISO or a complete installer.

we can´t connect them to the Internet. I need to download the installer offline. Sorry I forgot to add that important detail.

So how can I download the installer completely so I can run the installer offline?
