Not the "Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable", only install "MS Access 2007 Database Engine", from provided link..

My problem is solved after installing the "MS Access 2007 DB Engine"..
some key points are:-
Restart your computer. if you already did that,
then you can try installing the "MS office 32-bit version"...
Else
Sorry I'm out of Points. :-)

I changed default settings of project to 32 bit in IIS. Now it is working. It is a 'bit' issue.
