64-bit Office 10 Sounds

I get a "wrong version" error message when I attempt to install Office Sounds
on the 64-bit version of Office 10. Is there a work-around or alternate site
that I can use?
Note: The Office Sounds program works on the 32-bit version of Office 10.
Thanks in advance for your help/advice.

This blog may help - it's a transitional period for Microsoft Office since
most add ons - Microsoft or third party - were designed for 32 bit versions
of Office - 2007 and recent previous office releases were all 32 bit
versions.

To maintain the greatest degree of compatibility - use Microsoft Office
2010 32 bit version or if you use Microsoft Office 2010 64 bit version,
certain add ons will not operate as expected or at all.

This will change over time as more add ons are designed or redesigned for
Microsoft Office 2010 64 bit version.

"What version should you use?

If you're trying to decide between 32-bit and 64-bit Office, you should ask
yourself what your needs are. Are you an Excel power user working with huge
amounts of data? Do you need to work with file sizes greater than 2 GB? If
so, then you would benefit from 64-bit Office being able to utilize more
memory.

If not, we're recommending 32-bit Office 2010 as the default installation
on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows mainly due to compatibility with existing
32-bit controls, add-ins, and VBA (update: most VBA code will work without
modification on 64-bit Office, but see this paper more details). We expect
over time for 64-bit Office to become the norm."

David, thanks for your explanation. It is such a new product and the plug-ins
etc. need time to be developed.
