I have created a Windows Forms application in VS 2008 on 32 bit XP machine. I have used Provider = 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' in my application.

When Published and ran the published code on a 64 bit Windows 7 machine (which do not have VS installed on it), I encountered following error:
The 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' provider is not registered.

I also republished the code on my 32 bit machine by changing the string to - Provider = 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0'. But when I ran on 64 bit machine, I get the same error :
The 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered.

What changes should I make in my code? How can I know which OLEDB Provider is registered on my machine?

I have resolved the issue by setting the configuration to target x86 platform since my application will run on a 64bit machine after publishing it.
I followed following steps:

On the Build menu, click Configuration Manager.

In the Active solution platform box, select the platform 'x86', or select 'New' to create a new platform and create 'x86'. Visual Studio will compile your application to target the platform that is set as the active platform in the Configuration Manager dialog box.
