Solution 1

The problem is most likely in the connection string.
Try this site, Connection Strings[^].
There you can find various variants of connection strings for different databases.

Here is a reference to Microsoft Support: HOW TO: Use Jet OLE DB Provider 4.0 to Connect to ISAM Databases[^]

Also check if you use 32 bit or 64 bit.

Not sure microsoft.jet.oledb.5.0 even exist. You should try with microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0.
