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

General Discussion

NOTE: i have found hundreds of threads on this error, yet they all seem to suggest using the 'Microsoft access database engine'. however for whatever reason (even though its made for 64-bit office) this did not work on my machine so i was forced to find an alternate method.

  • this resolution works with:
    • 64-bit Windows 7
    • 64-bit MS Office
    • Please reply to this thread if it worked for you so i can make this a full "compatibility list"

    trying to connect to an Access database in visual studio but keep getting this error?
    try installing this first: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=13255

    however if, like me, that doesnt work for you, try the following method:
    NOTE: this DOES work for office 2010 even though it is for 2007 office, dont ask me why it just does :)
