The MS office apps and Visio are such a pain. The website does not seem to want us to download anything!

Basically yu need to have a windows 365 account active. It can be a 1 month trial account. When you have account active you can "install desktop apps". When it has installed to your PC you can then start Visio and when it prompts you choose "I have a product key". Enter the product key you got when you bought Visio 21 and it will work from your PC without have to have an active Office 365. I think this is technically called the Plan2 license.

I ran into this issue and found the answer -

If you have the Microsoft 365 subscription of Visio (plan 2), then go to https://portal.office.com/account#installs

If applicable you will see Visio, and a button for "Install Visio".

Clicking that downloads "OfficeSetup.exe", which is named exactly as a regular Microsoft Office Download, but it is indeed different, I opened it and Visio is now installing.
