Hi,
We have installed SQL server 2008 R2 64 bit version in a 64 bit system and using Visual studio 2008 version for SSIS and Office 2010 suite 64 bit.
Earlier when I used VS 2005 is SSIS the connection string for excel was Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 and Excel 8.0 combination for Excel 2003 version (.xls files)
Now I have installed AccessDatabaseEngine_x64.exe as it is a 64 bit platform.
When I try to configure Excel data source in SSIS 2008 using connection string Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 and Excel 12.0 combination for office 2010 (.xlsx files) after installing the Access database engine driver I am getting the below error stating
"Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" provider is not registered on local machine.
I changed the application pool setting for IIS server to 32 bit and also in BIDS I executed the SSIS Solution as Run64bitRuntime =False i.e. in 32 bit mode still the error retains the same.
Could you please help me out on this so as to whether should I use 32 bit version of Access database engine driver with office 2010 suite or it must be ACE 14.0 and Excel 14.0 combination that must be used to serve the purpose?
Regards,
