VS2012 BI Installer error - Rule "Same architecture installation" failed.

I was trying to upgrade my Visual Studio 2012 to allow editing Business Intelligence projects by installing SQL Server Data Tools (thread on that topic), so I downloaded this installer for the SQL Server Data Tools and chose an existing SQL Server 2012 instance to install to, then I got this error 'Rule "Same architecture installation" failed.'

After some searching it appears that you need to choose to perform a "new installation".

Here are the links where I found this information:

QuickBooks SDK 8.0, QBFC8 and Windows Server 64 Bit

Was having problems with QB SDK 8.0 not working properly, discovered via intuit developer forum that I needed to force x86 compilation instead of "Any CPU".  Was getting an error similar to "Could not find the COM Class with CLSID *****-******....".  Switched the compilation method to x86 explicitly, and it started working.  Yay!
