1. Download Visio 2019

If your license cannot be processed through this portal, use the deployment method: download the’Office deployment tool, Then generate your configuration file on the’Office customization tool.
2. Start the installation
- On config.office.com, generate a file configuration.xml corresponding to Visio 2019 (edition, language, 32 or 64 bit architecture).
- Open a command prompt as administrator in the deployment tool folder.
- Execute:
setup.exe /configure configuration.xml - The installation proceeds automatically and the window closes once complete.
