I have deployed my application on a machine having windows 8 64 bit.
In my application I am reading data from excel file. Application works fine while I am running this on windows xp but on windows 8 it is showing that 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' provider is not registered on the local machine.

I have searched on internet and found to change the target platform from any CPU to 86x.It works for me but I would like to know the another way to resolve this issue because I don't want to build my application again.

Solution 2

Win 7 and 8 64Bit does not support MS JET 3.5 database drivers. You need to re-build your application and use new ACE OLEDB database drivers.

Note: you need to change connection string: http://www.connectionstrings.com/access/[^]
