I have used Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 in my code for excel functionality and for it to work I've installed Microsoft Access database engine 2010 32-bit version in windows 2012 R2 server. May I know what else is required for it to work other than this and will it work without any issues when the server is migrated to windows server 2016 which planned very soon

    Hi @Malkannagari, Nikhila ,

    The Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 is not officially supported on the Windows Server 2016 operating system, this however doesn't mean it may not work, it simply has not been verified/tested by Microsoft, so you'll need to use it at your own risk.
