SAP Note 1614534 is misleading regarding 32/64 bit MS Office 2010

The SAP note 1614534

Posts a screen shot of what happens when you try to install 64-bit MS Access Database Engine when 32-bit office is already installed.

You cannot install the 64-bit version of Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 
because you currently have 32-bit Office products installed. If you want to install 64-bit 
Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010, you will first need to remove the 32-bit 
installation of office products. ...

The "resolution" section states that you must install the 64-bit ACE OLEDB provider (MS Access Database Engine) first before installing MS Office.

If you do this, then if you try to install MS Office 32-bit, you receive the opposite error message from the one posted in the note:

 You cannot install the 32-bit version of Office 2010 because you have 
64-bit Office products installed. These 64-bit  prodcuts are not supported 
with 32-bit installations:
     
        Microsoft Access database engine 2010 (English)

As I stated on a previous post, the 64-bit version of office is not supported by the EPM Add-in which installes a 32-bit COM Add-in to 32-bit office.

Therefore, you cannot install a single server BPC 10 MS along with the EPM Client/office because the versions are mutually exclusive.
