Downloading and Installing Microsoft Visio

Downloading and Installing Microsoft Visio

 

 Please note that this software is intended to be used on Microsoft Windows. If you use a Mac, please try the following:

  1. Bootcamp on Mac: Install Windows and then Microsoft Visio. Bootcamp is a tool offered by Apple that allows you to install Windows on some Macs, such that when you start your Mac, you can choose to start into Windows, or into your regular Mac OS. Note that this will require a valid Windows license. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1461
  2. Virtual machine on Mac: note that some students in the past indicated that Microsoft Visio may perform erratically in this case.
  3. Install Microsoft Visio on an Internet-connected PC, and connect to that machine via remote desktop.

If you run into technical issues or need further assistance, please refer to the Technical Support section below.
