I have Visio 2013 Pro and Project 2010 Pro and am attempting to create a WBS diagram. I have found results for a Visio 2010 WBS modeler add-in but can not find anything for Visio 2013.
As such how would one create a WBS diagram in Visio 2013?

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Villiam, Use the 32 bit WBS modeler to run on your machine. I faced the same issue using the 64 bit install, but the 32 bit version works well on 64 bit Visio. Let me know how it goes.
Hi Noud,
I just want to close this out. This is what Microsoft said officially:
Hi Partner,
Thanks for getting back, and yes I’m absolutely using the Visio Pro 2013 both X64 and X86 to test and as I said in my last reply, it is not supported in Visio 2013, neither X64 nor X86. The WBS Modeler 1.0 is the one that you downloaded and it is only compatible with Visio Professional 2010 or Visio Premium 2010 • Microsoft Office Project 2003 Service Pack (SP) 1 or later • Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 like Visio 2007. WBS Modeler only supported in Visio 2007.
We are sorry for the inconvenience we have brought because of the incompatibility. Your kindly understanding is much appreciated.
Should there’s any concern, please feel free to tell us as usual.
Best Regards,

Hi Villian,
The Visio 2010 WBS modeler add-in still works for Visio 2013 Pro. After you have installed that add-in, you can find that template under the Categories->Addins folder->WBS Addin.
Please do let us know if you face specific issues in using this add-in in Visio 2013.
Thanks & Regards,
Sanjay Bhat
Given MS's history of how they have released WBS (and your current version of Project), I'd stick with what you have (unless you want to upgrade to p2013).

Well given that with my current configuration I appear to be unable to produce a WBS diagram (something I am being asked for) I am not sure sticking with what I have will exactly work. :)
Upgrading project is an option, if it is the only one. If there is another way to create a WBS diagram from either Project or within Visio (given my current setup) I would welcome those suggestions as well.
