WSCAD SUITE 2015 64-bit and Office

The 64-bit version of WSCAD SUITE 2015 is only installed on systems with 64-bit versions of
Microsoft Office and the operating system (Windows 7/WIN8/8.1/10). For all other systems,
the 32-bit version of WSCAD SUITE 2015 is installed. Microsoft Office allows only one
variant of the database driver (32 or 64 bit), which depends on the Office version (32/64 bit)
being used.
If you are currently using a previous version of WSCAD SUITE 2015 (2012 or 2014), the
32-bit driver will have already been installed. When you now try to install the 64-bit version of
the database driver, you will receive a Microsoft Access error message stating that you
cannot install the 64-bit version.
The instructions on how you can install the 64-bit version of WSCAD SUITE 2015 (possibly
because of insufficient working memory for large projects) on a system with a 32-bit Office
version are provided below:
