How to Fix Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 provider is not registered on the local machine. FIX

Question

To anyone having this issue I found the solution. I tried installing accessdatabaseengine_X64 from the Microsoft website and still had the issue. I had to do some digging with a Google search to find a version of AccessDataBaseEngine from 2007. After installing that version, it resolved my issue.

Just thought I would share in case anyone else out there is running into this.

Answer 3

Hi! Anthony Gerard Adrian, 

Based on Kason Miner's content, it seems that the old version of the program was obtained through some third-party sources. Unfortunately, since Kason Miner's program comes from a third party, we are unable to provide you with the appropriate program. Please try to ask Kason Miner a question, I believe the enthusiastic Kason Miner will share his experience for you.
