Ok,
I am learning as I go.. Just figured out that even though the download package states QtitanRibbonInstaller4.8.0_msvc2013.exe it does work with VS 2015.
I am running windows 10 and the debugger that came with Visual Studio is not the same as we use with QtCreator
The reason why it did not work correctly with 64 bit is because you have to set the debugger up. In my version of windows 10, upgraded from windows 7, I only had the windows 8 debugger sdk for 32 bit only..

I think it means that you can only run Qt 5.7 from 5.7 apps it's compiled against.
I thought the 4.8.0 was already using 5.7 version of Qt.. but I am using the commercial version... so I rebuilt
I:\Program Files (x86)\Developer Machines\QtitanRibbon\qtitanribbon.pro
and now I am able to view the demos. It seems so obvious now.
