Hi All ,
When downloading the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2016 Redistributable , in the system's requirement does not mention Windows 2019 and Windows 2016.
Could you please let me know the alternative to use this to access MS Access DB file programatically ?

I am unable to make my application work with 2016 , but same application works with Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable.

    Hi there,

    I found an article regarding the quiet install. Try the below steps and check if that is helpful.

    (1) Download the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2016 Redistributable

    (2) Open the Command prompt as Administrator.

    (3) Provide the full path of your .exe file and add '/ quiet'. like below.

    C:\Users\v-padee\Desktop\AccessDatabaseEngine.exe /quiet

    You can follow this forum for more steps
