Developing for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (64-bit)

After I’ve installed  the SharePoint server 2007 64-bit and Visual Studio 2008. I’ve tried to create a Web part. But no options were available in VS2008 for SharePoint server 2007 64-bit. Afterwards I’ve, alongside VS2008, I’ve installed VS2010. But there it was possible to create something for SharePoint Server 2007 32-bit, not for the 64-bit version.

When you tried to create a Web part for instance you get following error:

After checking out the internet for this problem, I found on msdn from Microsoft and on the msdn blog. That it was impossible to create a part for SharePoint Server 2007 64-bit. My boss then found a installer on the Kamp’s Blog. But after installing it didn’t work.

Our final solution was to reinstall Windows Server 2008 and SharePoint Server 2007 but everything in 32-bit modus.
