I will definitely be posting a link to your solution on my site. This was driving me nuts. I use Access all the time, but had never had to run it on my own server. When I got the error message you refer to, I started browsing around expecting it to be obvious. Lots of false leads and dead ends. Your steps for Windows Server 2008 were the answer. Thank you!!

For those of you who want to keep your 64 bit processes but need access to Excel files you can use http://exceldatareader.codeplex.com/

Apparently it works on 2008 and handles more file formats (XLSX).

I’d rather do this than depend on the oledb drivers which may disappear at any point in an upgrade/rehost.

Be sure the the IIS feature is turned on…to do that go to control panel -> turn windows features on or off, then check the internet information services box

I did both steps and still the problem remains. In my code the problem is when i write: Dim login = Me.NameAndPassTableAdapter1.UsernamePasswordString(UsernameTextBox.Text, PasswordTextBox.Text) When i click ok it pops that: The ‘Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0′ provider is not registered on the local machine. Do i need to restart my pc? What am I doing wrong?

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.

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.

dazza — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 11:18:33 +0000

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

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?

By: Luis

Luis — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 16:17:26 +0000

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.

By: Sean

Sean — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 17:17:11 +0000

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!

By: Renaud

Renaud — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 02:03:06 +0000

@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

TheArtTrooper — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 20:52:42 +0000

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.
