# Deploying Microsoft Visio 2007, 2010, and 2013 using Endpoint Central

## How to deploy Microsoft Visio 2007/2010/2013?

### Description

This document provides steps required to deploy Microsoft Visio 2007/2010/2013 to multiple computers using Endpoint Central.

### Steps

Before you deploy the software application, ensure that the computers to which you deploy Microsoft Visio 2007/2010/2013 meet the system requirements prescribed by Microsoft. Refer to [http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee624351.aspx#section15](http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee624351.aspx#section15) for more details.

To deploy Microsoft Visio 2007/2010/2013, follow the steps given below:

1. **Create a common network share to store the required installable file.**

   **Note**: The network share should have read permissions to Everyone in the group and should be accessible from all the computers to which you are trying to install. If you want to deploy Microsoft Visio to computers located in a remote location, you can use HTTP upload. [If you want to know how to install applications which use multiple installation files through HTTP upload, refer to this document](https://www.manageengine.com/products/desktop-central/deploy-software-file-upload.html).

2. **Extract the contents of the EXE**

   **Note**: If you are not copying the contents from a CD, then execute the following command in the directory where the installer is present.

   ```bash
   VisioSingleImage.exe /extract:<target_directory>
   ```

   Example:

   ```bash
   VisioSingleImage.exe /extract:D:\Software\MicrosoftVisio2010-32bit\Extracted-Setup
   ```

   Copy all the extracted contents, with the same directory structure, to the network share that you created.

3. **Customize the following procedure for Installation / Uninstallation**

   a. Open a command prompt window.  
   b. Change the directory to the network share where you have copied the installable file.  
   c. Enter:

   ```bash
   setup.exe /admin
   ```

   **Note**: This opens the OCT from where you can specify the information about the license, information about the company, and change Outlook profiles.

   d. Enter the required product key under **Licensing and user interface**.

   **Note**: If you select the MAK (Multiple Activation Key) option, you are required to enter a 25-character key. However, if you select the KMS key option, you are not required to enter a key.

   e. Select the **Display Level as None** and select the **Suppress Modal** check box. Completion notice should be unchecked as it will be checked by default.

   f. Specify whether to remove the installations of older versions.

   **Note**: The default setting is to remove all the older versions. If you want to retain some of the Office components, select the **Remove the following earlier versions of Microsoft Office programs** option and choose the components that you want to retain.

   g. Make the following settings if you do not want computers to reboot after installation:

      1. In the **OCT**, under **Setup**, click **Modify Setup Properties**.  
      2. Click **Add**.  
      3. In the **Name** field, enter `SETUP_REBOOT`.  
      4. In the **Value** section, type `Never`.

      Your computers will not be rebooted after installation.

4. **Adding the package**

   1. Click the **Software Deployment** tab.  
   2. Click **Add Package**.  
   3. Select the **MSIEXEC/EXE/ISS/Command** package type.  
   4. Specify a name for the application.  
   5. Specify the **Installation Command with Switches/Arguments** as:

   ```bash
   <share_name>\setup.exe /adminfile "<share_name>\<msp file name>"
   ```

   Example:

   ```bash
   \\DC-machine1\software\MSVisio2010\setup.exe /adminfile "\\DC-machine1\software\MSVisio2010\custom.msp"
   ```

   6. Click **Add Package**.

5. **Deploy to target computers**

   a. Select the package that you have added.  
   b. Click **Install/Uninstall Software**.  
   c. Enter a name and description for the configuration.  
   d. Define the package settings.  
   e. Configure the deployment settings.  
   f. Choose the target computers.  
   g. Specify the schedule options, if required.  
   h. Click **Deploy**.

You have deployed Microsoft Visio 2010.
