The 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine.

Good Morning All,

I want to import data from Excel spread sheets into a SQL Server db. I'm developing this package on Windows 2008R2 (64bit machine) server. I created an EXCEL connection in the connection manager and then in the data flow task when i tried to use the same excel connection, i'm getting the following error.

"

The 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine."

Please need help.

Thanks

SV
