I have created a Windows forms application and a setup for it, both with visual studio 2017. The setup works well in the Development machine and the installed application works flawlessly. But when I tried to install the application on another machine the application installed without errors but when I tried to run the installed application this shows the Error: "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 is not registered on local machine"

If I click ignore/continue the application starts but the error message appears again and again whenever I click any button (Login/Signup/Submit) of the application.

What I have tried:

Tried updating the windows on the target computer

ACE is the database engine of Access and unless your setup program is aware that it is required and installs the appropriate version (32 or 64 bit) on the target computer correctly then your app will not run. Your dev machine probably has it installed already, so you don't notice it's needed - but if your setup program doesn't check and install it if needed, your app can't be guaranteed to run on other computers.

Solution 2

The message is quite clear, the ACE engine is not installed, and is required by your application. See Download Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable from Official Microsoft Download Center[^].
