Hi
Using Windows Server 2008 R2 64 Bit and Office 2010 64 Bit with Visual Studio 2008.
I am trying to use a Data Flow Task then a Excel connection to import data, but I get the error "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 provider is not registered on the local machine".
I have installed the 64 bit driver on Microsoft Access Database Engine but there is no change. I understand Visual Studio is 32 bit but when I try to install the 32 bit driver, I get a warning. 'you cannot install the 32 bit of the MS Access database Engine 2010 because you currently have 64 bit office products installed etc...."
The excel connection manager has the ACE.OLEDB.12.0 in it's connection string properties. Then when I go to the Excel source widget and try to select the name of the sheet it says the ACE.OLEDB.12.0 driver is not installed on local machine.
So is the solution to ignore the warning about the 32 bit office drivers and uninstall the office 64 bit and install the 32 bit drivers then the 64 bit office and drivers again over the top? Will this work or will the 32 bit drivers be removed?
Or is there another solution?
Thanks
