Hello all,
We just installed Office 365 on our dev machines. We chose the 64-bit version, because that's what was recommended in order to get the full experience out of Power BI via Office 365.
This has resulted in our being unable to run SSIS packages in visual studio (during development and testing) that utilize Excel source tasks.
The SSIS error reads: "[Connection manager "Excel Connection Manager"] Error: The requested OLE DB provider Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 is not registered. If the 32-bit driver is not installed, run the package in 64-bit mode. Error code: 0x00000000. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft OLE DB Service Components" Hresult: 0x80040154 Description: "Class not registered".
And,
"[Connection manager "Excel Connection Manager"] Error: The 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine. For more information, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=219816".
Does anyone have any suggestion on how to fix this issue without reverting back to the 32 bit version of Office? For example, how can we convert our packages to run in 64 bit mode?
Thanks for any advice,
Dylan
