Hi, I have an application which is compiled in x86 platform. I have tried to run it in my local PC and all is ok without any problem. But when I host my application in a server, whenever I run a particular function that is using Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0, it returns me the error message as stated above.

I have Access Runtime 2010 installed in my server but it still does not solve the problem. I have compared my local PC and server, turns out to be the server is missing Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile and Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Extended. Are these components that I need to install inside my server?

Thank you.

What I have tried:

1. Installed Access Runtime 2010 in server

No, you need to install the ACE driver, as stated in the error message.

Sir, the ACE driver is Access Runtime 2010 mentioned above?

Sir, I found one from Microsoft website:

Is this what you mean?

If your code is compiled x86 only, you MUST install the 32-bit version of the Access Runtime.

If your code is compiled AnyCPU or x64, then you should install the 64-bit version of the Access Runtime on the server, IF the server is running 64-bit Windows.

It depends on what version of MS Ace.OleDb version have you installed on server... You have to install x64 version and compile your programme with AnyCPU option ;)
