Hi,

I would like to know how to determine if the Ace OLEDB Driver is 32 or 64bit installed on the target PC and then tailor the 32 or 64 bit build of my program which writes to excel with OLEDB.

Currently on 64 bit office with 64bit ACE I need to change the configuration in visual studio from x86 to x64 and vice versa.

Is there any method to detect 32/64bit installation and do you need in the setup project to write a script or can you dynamically write code to alter the 32/64 build that way.

Thanks,

Jase

Take a look at http://epplus.codeplex.com/[^] for Excel output which is all managed code and you don't have to worry about 32/64 bit builds and the associated deployment problems.
