If you're using a 32-bit tool, you have to use the 32-bit ACE driver.

You cannot mix 32-bit and 64-bit code in the same process.

It is a 64 bit.

I saw this post of yours yesterday and thought I'd provide this link as an answer: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6649363/microsoft-ace-oledb-12-0-provider-is-not-registered-on-the-local-machine. But did not.

Well, the error is telling me you're using 32-bit SSMS. You cannot use the 64-bit driver with it.
