Installing Lync 2013 x64 with Office 2013 x86
As above I'm trying to to install the 64bit version of Lync alongside the 32bit version of Office 2013 Pro Plus. My understanding was that you use the version of Lync that matches your OS and not your version of Office. It seems now though that 64bit Lync will not install with 32bit Office already present stating that it cannot install due to the presence of 32bit Office.
Have I been misinformed? Is this possible?

All Office products have to be the same bit edition. The OS bit edition does not have to match. In fact, Microsoft suggests that the 32-bit editions are installed, even on your 64-bit OS, until you can verify all of your plug-ins & add-ons are compatible & supported with Office.

We were able to get 2013 Lync 64-bit installed along side Office 2010 32-bit.
Before you install you have to rename these two folders:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform
Then run the installer. If you don't it will fail with a bootstrap error every time.
I hope this helps.
