Problems with Microsoft Jet OLEDB on 64bit Windows?
If you have scenario like this:
- In your C# / VB.NET application you are using Microsoft Access database (MDF file)
- Target machines are 64 bit machines (Vista 64 or some of the Windows Operating System flavors
- On target machines, where you plan to deploy solution, you installed Microsoft 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components
- And still, you are experiencing error like this:
System.InvalidOperationException: The 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' provider is
not registered on the local machine.Check if your application is setup for any CPU (Properties / Build / Platform target) which is default. If that is the case, change it to x86 - at the moment, there are no 64bit drivers for Microsoft Office, so only 32bit applications will work as expected.
