Sanjay:

That is a similar, but different problem. You should be able to run your service as a 32-bit app by recompiling it with the "platform" set to "x86" instead of "Any CPU". Use the Configuration Manager to change these settings.

I am facing same problem in .NET Windows Service.

How can i run Windows service as 32 bit application in a default x64 environment (Win 2008 server)?

What if the application is not web hosted. I am using a console tool which uses Excel to import/export settings. It is not working on 64 bit Windows Server 2008 . Any thoughts ??

Excellent, great help. Thanks! This worked for me, both the install and the x64 tip were required.

dazza:

According to Microsoft, Jet OLEDB has been obsolete since about 2005. They do not have a 64-bit version of the OLEDB drivers and have no plans to release them. Jet OLEDB is dead, and the customer be damned.

Your only options are to switch to a different access method or switch databases. Yes, this was really bad news for me too.

hi all is there a 64 bit version of the jet dll’s? I have a dependancy to keep the application pool in 64 bit mode, so the setting in my app pool has to remain false for 32 bit apps. but that breaks the jet dll. anyone know if it exists? thanks

Brilliant -- thanks a lot for that tip. Enabling 32-bit applications solved it for me.

Thanks for posting this info. It helped, but installing the Office 2007 components did not solve the Jet OLEDB problem for me. I see the Jet components in the SysWOW64 folder, and I see them listed in the registry, but the provider still doesn't work.

A trick I've learned for setting up connection strings is to create an empty file with a UDL extension and double-click on it. That brings up the Data Link dialog, which is like a wizard for building connection strings. Anyway, it lists all of the OLEDB providers on the first tab, and the Jet provider is still not in the list. After loading the office components, I see a few providers that were not listed before, but Jet is not one of them.

Any thoughts?

Thanks, other sites have mentioned that you need to install access components, but I have been going crazy for days because they didn’t add that you had to fken make changes to the iis and change the application pool to “true” so that it will accept 32 bit applications. And on top of that SQL server Express had other issues. I was about to give up on it all. Many, many and many thanks

The reason I could not see where to change the iis setting was because iis was not installed. I went to control panel>programs>turn win programs on or off> iis (check on)... but then I enabled "True" as stated above in the advanced settings, and reset the computer, and it STILL doesn't work.

Any suggestions? I saw something about resetting the jet database via run>cmd and then going to the .NET directory and putting in 3 commands for uninstalling, reinstalling, etc... but I don't have any idea what this fix is for exactly.

2 questions: 1. I have Vista 64bit and found Services and Applications tree but still don't understand where to enable 32 bit.

Also, I need to run my 64 bit platform (Mplus 5.2 stat software) immediately after using this 32 bit application. Will I run into problems?

And does anyone out there have issues with N2MPlus (the program that supposedly converts .xls (Excel) and .sav (SPSS) files to MPlus??? I wish this damn thing would work!

@TheArtTrooper: true, but I don’t think you can have it both ways: if you need Jet, you’re stuck with 32 bits.

By: TheArtTrooper

One issue with this is that you lock IIS into running only 32-bit code.

@Paul: you should be able to access IIS configuration settings by right-clicking on My Computer and choosing Manage to open the Computer Management console.

From there, IIS settings are accessible under the Services and Applications tree.

Bingo

Thnka god someone knows what they're talking about.

Additionaly, you will have to set the folder permissions to allow iis_iusrs to connect to the databse from a client pc
