          var cnn = new OleDbConnection(cnnStr);

Is machine 32 bit or 64 bit? There is no 64bit driver for Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0

Try this-
1. Right click on the project
2. Click Properties
3. Go to Build tab
4. Make sure that Platform Target is set to x86

As @digimanus has mentioned in comment, there is no 64 bit version of Jet. If your project is CPU (x64) specific then try using ACE 64 bit driver.

Hope, it helps :)

You can use Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 for 64 bit system. You can check is it 32 bit or 64 bit system. If 32 bit then use .JET.OLEDB else use ACE.OLEDB.

You can check following link for downloading AccessDatabaseEngine
