Do not mix builds of PPT, Windows Operating System, and Microsoft SQL Server Software. They must all be either 32-bit or 64-bit. It is best to use 64-bit configurations for projects on sites that contain more than 100,000 data points.
Before you install the Professional Productivity Tool on your device, you must
have the following software:
- Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate Editions with SP1, or Windows 10
- Microsoft SQL Server versions 2012, 2014 or 2016, in either Express or Full
Editons. Note: System Configuration Tool (SCT) (at release 12) no longer supports SQL 2008 R2 (32-bit or 64-bit). We recommend that you install a later SQL Server as a separate instance, where possible.
- Microsoft. NET 4.5
- Microsoft Visual Basic Power Packs (part of the install package)
