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 :)
    1. download and install this: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/confirmation.aspx?id=23734
    2. in VS click add data source, follow the wizard and enjoy! :)

    Check dot net core framework version in my PC Or System

     Open My Computer → double click "C:" drive → double click "Windows" → double click "Microsoft.NET" → double click "Framework" → Inside this folder, there will be folder(s) like "v1.0.3705" and/or "v2.0.50727" and/or "v3.5" and/or "v4.0.30319". Your latest .NET version would be in the highest v number folder, so if v4.0.30319 is available that would hold your latest .NET framework. However, the v4.0.30319 does not mean that you have the .NET framework version 4.0. The v4.0.30319 is your Visual C# compiler version, therefore, in order to find the .NET framework version do the following. Go to a command prompt and follow this path: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319 (or whatever the highest v number folder) C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319 > csc.exe Output: Microsoft (R) Visual C# Compiler version 4.0.30319.17929 for Microsoft (R) .NET Framework 4.5 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporati...

    ASP.NET Routing

    ASP.NET routing enables you to use URLs that do not have to map to specific files in a Web site. Because the URL does not have to map to a file, you can use URLs that are descriptive of the user's action and therefore are more easily understood by users. The ASP.NET MVC framework and ASP.NET Dynamic Data extend routing to provide features that are used only in MVC applications and in Dynamic Data applications. For more information about MVC, see ASP.NET MVC 3 . For more information about Dynamic Data, see ASP.NET Dynamic Data Content Map . In an ASP.NET application that does not use routing, an incoming request for a URL typically maps to a physical file that handles the request, such as an .aspx file. For example, a request for http://server/application/Products.aspx?id=4 maps to a file that is named Products.aspx that contains code and markup for rendering a response to the browser. The Web page uses the query string value of id=4 to determine what type of c...
