The workflow designer is not supported with 64 bit versions of Visio. As per the documentation, "Visio Workflow Designer client prerequisites":

Third-party software components

The Workflow Designer client application requires one of the following products:

  • Microsoft Visio 2013 (32-bit), English version
  • Microsoft Visio 2010 SP2 (32-bit), English version (deprecated)
  • Microsoft Visio 2010 SP1 (32-bit), English version (deprecated)

  • Yes, I come across people with 64 bit versions that can't access the designer all the time. No, there's no workaround other than installing a 32 bit version as far as I know

We have faced the same problem for Visio 2013 64 bit. You have to uninstalled the 64 bit and installed 32 bit.

You can use one of them - 

Visio 2013 (32-bit), English version

or

Microsoft Visio 2010 SP2 (32-bit), English version (deprecated)

Or

Microsoft Visio 2010 SP1 (32-bit), English version (deprecated)

For detail you can log a ticket to SDL support team.

  • I had a similar problem and installing 32-bit Visio required uninstalling the whole 64-bit Office. What I did at the end was: keep 64-bit Office 2013 and install Visio 2010 32-bit. Hope this helps.
