64 bit to 32 bit compilation - 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I have seen a number of articles related the problem of 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' provider is not registered, and/but... my DB app which used to work fine on my 32 bit machine, now doesn't.

I am trying to sort the problem, using Visual Studio Express 2010, to change the compilation option to x86, but I can't find how to change the project settings.
Is there a method, or is there another solution available to me?
Thanks in advance.

Solution 2

Try adding an App.config. I had a similar problem and amazingly that worked, even if the App.config is empty.

Thanks for your pointers, people.
Through Amit's link I got it to work through the Command line:

msbuild myproj.sln /p:Configuration=Release /p:PlatformTarget=x86

Big sigh of relief!!! Ta
