SharePoint Designer 2010 Beta and Office 2010

If you’re looking to download both the SharePoint Designer 2010 beta and the Office 2010 beta, you may have discovered that there is a 64bit public beta for SPD, but the public beta for Office 2010 is 32bit.

I installed SPD 64bit first--only to find that the 32bit Office beta wouldn’t install if a 64bit Office application was already installed.

The solution is to download the Office 2010 64bit beta from MSDN downloads.
