Excel source to DB table load - Error - Pls help

Hi,

    A simple Excel Source to OLE DB Table load, throws error

//////

[Excel Source [1]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER.  The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC00F9304.  There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed.

and

The Excel Connection Manager is not supported in the 64-bit version of SSIS, as no OLE DB provider is available."

////

I know this can be resolved by changing the Config Property > Debugging > Run 64bitRunTime = false...But I dont want this to be changed. I want 64bitruntime = TRUE only as our client is executing in PROD 64 bit server and wants 64bitRunTime only.

Is  there any ways to accomplish this? Help would be greatly appreciated.
