Hello,

I have created a unattended installation for Microsoft Visio 2013 using setup.exe /config vispror.ww\config.xml

This will install visio 2013, but will not activate Visio.

The auto_activate option is available using the Microsoft Customization Tool  for Office 2013, but I can not find a admin-folder or template for visio2013 to configure this.

Is there a separate download for the admin-folder for Visio 2013 or do I need another option to activate visio2013?

Thx

Hi Mvd12345,

Thank you for posting in the MSDN Forum.

You can refer to the page below

Configure a silent installation of Office 2013

which describes that

To specify silent installation options in Config.xml

1. Open the Config.xml file for the Office product (such as Office Professional Plus 2013) that you are installing by using a text editor tool such as Notepad.

2. Locate the line that contains the Display element, as shown in the following example:

   <!-- <Display Level="full" CompletionNotice="yes" SuppressModal="no" AcceptEula="no" /> -->

3. Modify the Display element entry with the silent options that you want to use. Make sure that you remove the comment delimiters, "<!--" and "-->." For example, use the following syntax:

   <Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEula="yes" />

   These options will direct Setup to run silently, prevent the prompting of users to enter information, and prevent the installation from waiting for user interactions. For more information about the syntax and Config.xml, see Display element in Config.xml file in Office 2013.

4. To suppress restarts, add the following lines:

   <Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="Never" />

   <Setting Id="REBOOT" Value="ReallySuppress"/>

5. To add a MAK key, use the PIDKEY element to enter the 25 character volume license key. Add the following line to the Config.xml file:

   <PIDKEY Value="AAAAABBBBBCCCCCDDDDDEEEEE" />

   AAAAABBBBBCCCCCDDDDDEEEEE represents the product key. Use your organization's specific MAK product key for Office 2013.

6. To set the automatic activation option, add the following line to the Config.xml file:

   <Setting Id="AUTO_ACTIVATE" Value="1" />

   Not setting AUTO_ACTIVATE is the same as setting AUTO_ACTIVATE to a value of 0. The result is that product activation does not occur during Office 2013 deployment.

7. Save the Config.xml file.

Hope it helps.

Hello Quist,

I know this procedure for Office 2013.

But I need those administrative files also for visio 2013.

Which files can I use for visio 2013?

Thx

Hi Mvd12345,

I've moved your thread to Office 2013 and Office 365 ProPlus - Planning, Deployment, and Compatibility Forum where experts are more familiar with your issue.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,

Thx Quist,

anybody with an option for unattended visio and an answer for the "administrative tools" for Microsoft Visio?

Hi Mvd12345,

The admin folder for Office Products come only with the Volume License editions. If you do not see "admin" folder in the setup, then it means that the product is a retail edition or Office 365 edition.

Thanks,

John
