Sharepoint Designer for SP2010 - sharepoint-2010

I am bit confused as on this..
Which version of Share Point designer (32 or 64bit) do I need to use to work on SP 2010.
When I try to download the 64 bit , I see a message as "32 bit is recomended for most users ..".
I have installed SP 2010 on win 2008 R2 in virtual box. Is it mandatory for me to install Vs 2010 on same machine to develop web parts ...?? Can I install Vs 2010 in a different machine ..?? Which version of VS 2010(Express, Prof, Prem or Ult) is required ..??

Sharepoint 2010 can be installed on client machines with Windows 7 or Vista.
It is required for Sharepoint 2010 products that you are running x64 version of OS.
The development tools like VS and Sharepoint designer can be either 32bit or 64bit.

Microsoft recommends 32-bit for all the Office products, including SharePoint Designer included. I believe it's mostly to do with compatibility with other programs.
"The 32-bit version of Office 2010 is the recommended option for most people, because it prevents potential compatibility issues with other 32-bit applications, specifically third-party add-ins that are available only for 32-bit operating systems."
Taken from here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-designer-help/choose-the-32-bit-or-64-bit-version-of-microsoft-office-HA010369476.aspx

Which version of Share Point designer (32 or 64bit) do I need to use to work on SP 2010?
You can use both the 32-bit or the 64-bit version. But, it is recommended that you install the 32-bit version because the Office 2010 32-bit version is recommended. If you install the SharePoint Designer 2010 64-bit version than you cannot install the 32-bit version of Office 2010.
I have installed SP 2010 on win 2008 R2 in virtual box. Is it mandatory for me to install Vs 2010 on same machine to develop web parts ...?? Can I install Vs 2010 in a different machine ..?? Which version of VS 2010(Express, Prof, Prem or Ult) is required ..??
I have also installed SP 2010 on Win 2008 R2 in VBox. The SP installation is a standalone installation. I have also installed VS 2010 on the same VM. But, you could separate out the SP and VS 2010 installation on multiple VMs. The downside is you will need to have both VMs running at the same time (at least during your deployment to SP). You will need at least the professional edition of VS 2010.

Storyboard Add-In for PowerPoint Unable to Load

I recently installed the Office 2016 32 bit edition on my Windows 10 Enterprise OS.
I had a Story Board Add-In with PowerPoint - Office 2013, which now does not work.
I can see the Add-In but when I click any of its menu items, I get this message:
TF86001: Team Foundation was unable to load the Office Add-In. This
may be caused by a Team Foundation Client installation problem or lack
of .Net programmability Support in the Office Application.
For more information, see the following Microsoft website:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=220459.
So far I have tried the following steps:
- Reinstalled Office
- Repaired Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise Edition
- Reinstalled "Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime (x64)" from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=48217
My suspicion is that since I have a 32 bit version of Office 2016 on my 64 bit OS, I would need a corresponding 32 bit version of Visual Studio Tools for Office. I was able to download the 32 bit edition of the software but it was blocked from being installed by the OS.
Any suggestions? Hate that storyboard no longer works :-(
Finally found the solution.
As I suspected, I had to first remove all 32 bit editions of Office, including Office Pro, Visio & SharePoint Designer.
Then I installed Office 64 bit edition.
Went into File, Options, Add-Ins, Manage COM Addins.
Added "Team Foundation Add-in" and bingo the Storyboard menu came back
Click on "Storyboard Shapes" now works perfectly!
Some Explanation
It worked inb the Office 2013 32 bit version because Visual Studio Tools for Office allowed a 32 bit install. Since I installed the new version, VSTO ONLY allows the 64 version to be installed, i.e. it auto-detects your processor in the one installer file. Hence everything now has to be the 64 bit edition.

Installing the newest version of Wamp server

I'm learning PHP and I'm a newbie in apache, mysql,etc.
I tried to install WAMPServer (The current newest version 2.5) but I get the error:
msvcr110.dll is missing.
I have followed some instructions given here: WAMP shows error 'MSVCR100.dll' is missing when install
However, none of the advice worked for me. I have already installed Visual C++ for windows 32 bits and Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012. After that I installed Visual C++ 2008, it didn't worked either.
And even after that I installed vcredist_x86.exe. This gave me an option to repair my Visual C++, and so I did.
In all my tries I restarted my computer.
I didn't install Visual c++ for windows 64 bits because my os is running a 32 version.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your attention,

Please make sure you have the latest version of all of these Microsoft C/C++ Redistributable runtime libraries. You dont need the whole compiler, just these C/C++ runtime libraries.
The 2008 Redist (32bit) is used by wampmanager even if you installed the 64bit WAMPServer.
The 2010 Redist is used by some versions of Apache ( depending on compiler used ).
The 2012 Redist is used by some versions of Apache ( depending on compiler used ).
FOR WAMP 32bit
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)
If you are using WampServer 2.4/2.5 32bit and therefore Apache 2.4.x
Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 is required And select vcredist_x86.exe
Due to the naming convention used by Microsoft dowmloading these libraries can get a little confusing so download them one at a time and install that download before downloading the next and installing that.
To check that you have all the required runtimes, launch 'Programs and Features' by
Start -> Control Panel -> Programs and Feature
For a 32bit system it should look something like this, ignore the fact that mine has what look like multiple versions of the same library, its just because when you download a newer version it does not remove the older revisions :-
32bit System example
UPDATE FOR 2018 (WAMPSERVER 3.x)
You need the following Visual Studio Redistributables:
2008
2010
2012
2013
2017
Get both the x86 and x64 versions if you're on a x64 machine.
Also, make sure you set skype to NOT use port 80, otherwise WAMP won't start when Skype is open.

Not able to run the build of vb.net applicaition created in visual studio 2010

I have developed a desktop application in vb.net using visual - studio 2010.
I want to run that application in different pc every time. For that I have created a build of that application.
But I am not able to run this application other than my pc.
I also installed the dot net framework 4.0 in other pc but it gives error "WIC component not installed".
What should I do to run my application in different computer systems every time? , what are the pr-requisites for running the application.?
Please help. Thanks in advance.
Googling that error would seem to suggest you need to install the Windows Imaging Components on the other machines.

Judging the by the system requirements I'm guessing Windows 7 onwards includes this by default.

sharepoint 2010 Oracle Integration issue

We are in the process of integrating sharepoint 2010 with oracle HRMS system.
Our development environment is :
windows server 2008 x64
sharepoint 2010 x64
visual studio 2010 x32
sql server 2008 x64
Now, when i used Oracle client 11g R2 64 bit (64 bit oracle.dataaccess.dll) for connectivity to oracle, visual studio being 32bit not able to load 64bit oracle.dataaccess.dll and is reporting build errors of project.
when i tried Oralce client 11g R2 32 bit (32bit oracle.dataaccess.dll) for connectivity to oracle, visual studio is able to load 32bit oracle.dataaccess.dll but w3wp.exe being 64bit is reporting problems with oracle.dataaccess.dll which is 32bit.
Oracle is not providing a "Any CPU" compilation of oracle.dataaccess.dll only "x64", "x32" target compilations of this dll are available.
Microsoft is no more providing Ole db providers for oracle.
unless we add reference a oracle.dataaccess.dll compatible with both VS 2010 and SP x64 we cannot deploy and debug in VS.
Any way out to develop,deploy,debug using VS 2010 + SP 2010 + Oracle.dataaccess.dll.
We have written about this in our FAQ: http://www.lightningtools.com/bcs-meta-man/faq.aspx
Basically Visual Studio being 32bit needs the 32bit Oracle Drivers and SharePoint is 64bit and needs the 64bit drivers.
The company I work for has a tool called BCS Meta Man which will generate a .Net or Database model for you, it's a Visual Studio Extension:
BCS Meta Man BCS Meta
Man + Oracle walkthrough
You can use just the normal Visual Studio BCS Model Project to make the Model manually, but you'll probably notice very quickly that it's quite a steep learning curve:

Using 32bit COM addin under MS Office 64 bit

I am struggling to apply an existing 32bit COM addin to 64bit Microsoft Word 2010.
To make the addin visible to Word, I have used the dllsurrogate-method, as it described here.
The problem is that now addin caused some strange exception when tries to add its toolbar and menu to office's. I cannot figure out, what it is, it seems, that the command bar reference became not valid in unpredicable moments.
Can anyone explain this?
Note, that everething is fine when I use the same addin under 32bit Microsoft Word 2010 and more old versions of Ms Office.
32-bit add-ins are not supported on 64-bit. Microsoft recommends to use the 32-bit version of Office unless you run into the memory limitations of a 32-bit process which is only likely to happen if you need to deal with extremely large spreadsheets:
The recommendations for which edition of Office 2010 to install are as follows:
If users in your organization depend on existing extensions to Office, such as ActiveX controls, third-party add-ins, in-house solutions built on previous versions of Office, or 32-bit versions of programs that interface directly with Office, we recommend that you install 32-bit Office 2010 (the default installation) on computers that are running both 32-bit and 64-bit supported Windows operating systems.
If some users in your organization are Excel expert users who work with Excel spreadsheets that are larger than 2 gigabytes (GB), they can install the 64-bit edition of Office 2010. In addition, if you have in-house solution developers, we recommend that those developers have access to the 64-bit edition of Office 2010 so that they can test and update your in-house solutions on the 64-bit edition of Office 2010.
If you need to go with the 64-bit version because of the memory limitations you have the following options:
If you have the source code, you can generate a 64-bit version yourself,
You can contact the vendor for an updated version,
You can search for an alternative solution.
