    The 32-bit version is installed automatically with the 64-bit version.  The paths are as follows:

     

    32-bit version:

     

    C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestComplete\Bin\TestComplete.exe

     

    64-bit version:

     

    C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestComplete\x64\bin\TestComplete.exe

     

    Simply point your shortcuts and such to the version you want.

     

    That said, you don't have to fully upgrade your MS Office to make use of the 64-bit version.  There's a redistributable download that you can install to have access for 64-bit processing.  You can get it from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13255

    Thanks that worked. I did see the instructions to upgrade to the 64 bit processing but I'm unable to do that at this time. I'm able to point and run it at 32 bit.
