The 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' provider is not registered on the local machine

I recieved the following error The 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' provider is not registered on the local machine on my Vista 64 bit machine today. I made no code changes since I run it on a 32 bit OS.

Aparantly there is not a 64bit Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' provider and you have to force your build to 32 bit.

In the settings for the project under the Build Tab you must set Platform target to x86 instead of Any CPU

# re: The 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' provider is not registered on the local machine

we are having 64 bit server where we have deployed our application. Eveything works fine on development enviorment which is on 32 bit. but when we deploy on live server which is on 64 bit, VS2005, sql server 2005. there is piece of application which takes data from excel file and import it in the database. i am using OLEDB driver. i have tried using option x86 but i got an error "Could not load file or assembly or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format." I have two libraries and one main project. One library is in VB and other in c# and application is in c# which is taking reference from both the dll. I tried all the option to build project. can someone help me here?

Thanks

I had this problem last week and found that you are running a 32 Bit application but somwhere you have a 64 bit dll begin loaded.

You will need to check your build process to make sure all DLL's are rebuilt as 32 bit.

I get this error in UK SP1 version of VB 2005 Express and there is no option to force the build change that I can see - by chance has anyone else had such problem?

I would be overjoyed to hear as i have just come to a sudden halt with development :'(

Many thanks and salutations to you all

Hi all, I was having the same problem as you running a WebApp that uses Microsoft Jet for importing some data from Excel, I was working with Windows Vista 64 bits after trying everything I found a workaround:

In the IIS(7), search for the application pool that supports your Web Application rigth click on it and select the option "Set Application Pool Defaults"...then find the Option Generals->Enable 32-bit Applications set it to true.

And that's it! Microsoft Jet is working again.

My question is: Is there an equivalent way to do this with IIS 6.0?
I am using Win Server 2003 so cannot install iis7.0

Thanks

# re: The 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' provider is not registered on the local machine

This doesn't help me at all, as I'm not running a 64 bit machine but I'm getting the same error. I am also unable to connect to a local Access database as I get the dialog box diappearing just before I can finish the Data Source wizard.

Any other tips?
I did a repair on one machine, that didn't work. I did a remove and reinstall (without rebooting) on another machine and that also did not work.

Hi,

I am using IIS 6.0 on win 2003 server x64 bit. While trying to query an excel sheet with OLEDB I receive the above error..
I have other applications running on my machine which work only in 64-bit mode so i cant configure my machine's IIS to run on 32 bit mode.
Is there any other way by which i can solve this problem??

# re: The 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' provider is not registered on the local machine

Hello all, I've been struggling with this same issue for a few days now. I am using Windows Server 2008 (64bit), IIS 7. I have tried the fix above (change application pool setting) but it gives the following error:

Service Unavailable

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable.

I am also using Express Edition which means I can't try the other fix which seems to work which is to force the app to use the 32 bit change the target cpu to x86 in the advanced compiler options because Express doesn't have these options.

Does anyone know of anything else I can try? Is there any other way I can change the target cpu to x86?

Any advice would be very much appreciated!

Vicky

I get the same error on a Vista 64bit machine when I try to tun a .NET program that I purchased. I am assuming that it's because the software is a 32bit application? If so is there nay way around this?
