Access Database Engine 2010 Build List
Why can't the 32 and 64 bit versions of the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable (AccessDatabaseEngine.exe and AccessDatabaseEngineX64.exe)both be installed on the same machine?The fact that they cannot forces us to compile two different versions of our application; one specifically for x86 platform and one for x64 platform. Then we have to somehow determine which version of the ACE driver is installed so we know whichversion (32 or 64 bit) of our application to install.
Life would be much simplier if we could just compile our app for the default AnyCPU and then both 32 and 64 dataproviders were allowed to be installed.If they have the 32 bit ACE OleDB dataprovider installed and then try running our app compiled for AnyCPU platform on an 64 bit system then they get the following error when we try to use the following connection string with OleDBConnection;New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection('Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=' & clientPathMDB)'The 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine.' Again, I know that we can avoid this by targeting our app specifically for x64.
But I don't think we should have to. Why can't 32 and 64 bit ACE coexist?What complicates matters even more is IF they have any other 32 bit Office component installed then they CAN NOT install the 64 bit Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable (AccessDatabaseEngineX64.exe).So if they cannot coexist then how to we determine which is installed so we know which version of our app to install? It's based upon the fact that Microsoft does not support the side by side install of 32 and 64-bit Microsoft Office 2010 or their dependent components. In addition, Microsoft recommends that, for now, customers use the 32-bit version of Officesince many of the common Office Add-ins will not run in the 64-bit Office environment.Seems to me you can handle this in the installer or let the user decide whether to install the 32-bit or 64-bit version (assembly), or maybe both.Paul Microsoft MVP (Visual Basic). Hi,I exactly cant say more on your issue of side-by-side installation of 32 bit and 64 bit packages on windows platform. But would like to point you out concept called as WOW which may create above mentioned issue.Definition: Many Win16 applications can run without changes on 32-bit editions of Windows, complete with the limitations of such applications compared with applications written for Win32. The operating system thunks 16-bit APIs to theirunderlying 32-bit equivalents in order to provide support for 16-bit pointers, memory models and address spaceFor details about WOW (Windows On Windows) please refer to url below:.I hope the above listed links can put more light on what Paul Clement is trying to explain.One more thing I would like to point is: while releasing(compiling, building) your binaries please set the target cpu mode asany. So that it becomes less painful (I hope this can answer your other questions).Please let us know your views on this.Manish Patil Posting is provided AS IS with no warranties, and confers no rights.
This is not just a pain for developers but for any user of an Vista64 or Win7 x64 machine. It makes you wonder why Microsoft came up with this.artificial. limitation/restriction as they are pushing users to move to 64-bit OS's.Now few people will actually use the 64-bit version of Office 2010 as that only brings more problems. However for a lot of other programs it makes sense to run in 64-bit mode on x64 Vista or Win7. However those programs will then require 64-bit Officedrivers to use MSOffice files.The only suggestion I know, is to first install the 64-bit Office 2010 ODBC/OleDB drivers and after that the (32-bit) Office 2007 application suite (or drivers). That does mean that the 32-bit drivers have a different version number than the 64-bit driversthough. If when you are trying to install AccessDatabaseEnginex64.exe you get this message:Open your registry editor and find this key: HKEYCLASSESROOTInstallerProducts 000000F01FECRename 000000F01FEC to.000000F01FEC: HKEYCLASSESROOTInstallerProducts.000000F01FECThen try to install again, when done change the key to the original value: HKEYCLASSESROOTInstallerProducts 000000F01FECThat works for me, now I have 32 and 64 bit versions of Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB provider installed in my server.
So effectively you can only have the 32-bit and 64-bit MS Office runtimes on the same machine, if you use different versions. That would most likely be the Office 2007 32-bit application suite and seperately the 64-bit Office 2010 runtime files.Since machines in the average enterprise would come with the Office suite installed by default, the workarounds to get the 64-bit Office 2010 runtimes setup next to an existing (32-bit) installation are very useful.Still why did Microsoft put these artificial barriers in place? Especially people with a 32-bit Office 2010 application suite will have a problem, as the 32-bit and 64-bit drivers have the same ADO/OleDB/etc. I just recently ran into this situation. Furthermore, EVERY time you run Excel or Word, they also 'reconfigure', and you can no longer create new folders in Outlook (tells you to reinstall Outlook - nice!), and your signon to LIVE says 'Somethingwent wrong.' .This thread has been inactive for a while. Has anyone (i.e.
MSFT) come up with someway that I can build a single C# application for CPU=ANY or even CPU=x64 that will work on different x64 machines, one with x86 Office and one with x64 Office? My boss didnot read the caveat to use 32 bit Office and neither of us wants to reinstall the other version of Office, that being so much fun.Thanks, DaveDave.
Setting CPU=ANY does NOT help because if you build CPU=ANY it runs 64-bit on an x64 machine so will not talk to 32-bit Office without the AccessDatabaseEnginex64 drivers, and then Office starts doing weird things. You have to set the /32preferred flag(or whatever it is) and there is no preferred about it since now it always runs 32 bit and won't work on a different machine that has 64-bit Office and the 64-bit drivers. Catch-22 - MSFT did not think this one through. Basically, there is no way to buildone C# app that will even run on x64 machines, much less x86 and x64 machines, where one machine has Office 32-bit and another Office 64-bit, w/o Office reconfiguring Word and Excel every invocation, or Outlook able to create new sub folders, or being ableto log in to LIVE. Please tell me I'm wrong!Dave. Microsoft never intended to support the side by side installation of both 32 and 64-bit versions of Office.

This includes the dependent components, such as the ACE OLEDB Provider. The setup and configuration checks for the Office apps were designedto prevent this.I would suspect that, as with many applications, you will need to deploy two versions of the app, one that targets 32-bit environments and one for 64-bit. In the.NET world that means one configured with the x86 platform option and one forx64 (under Build.Configuration Manager in VS). I don't see this as an issue, because technically you still only have one version of the app. You just generate two different assemblies.Paul Microsoft MVP (Visual Basic).
Well maybe you don't see this as an issue, but other people do -#1 There is no way to build an x86 and x64 binary at the same time other than a tedious manual process that modifies the solution back and forth.#2 There is no way to have a WIX installer install an x86 or x64 version based on the version of Office installed.#3 This wastes the concept of CPU=ANY.There are lots of issues and problems I'm sure MSFT had no intention of supporting which does not mean they shouldn't when it is a PITA for their users. The Configuration Manger (thx for telling me there was one) does not have a choice that says 'buildme two assemblies so that my app can work with either version of Office'. And furthermore, the x64/ANY app will work with the x64 driver and the 32-bit Office data but breaks Office itself so this COULD be made to work, but the real answer is apparentlyMSFT does not WANT to bother to make it work, all intentions aside.Dave.

Connectivity to existing text files is also supported.ODBC and OLEDB drivers are installed for application developers to use in developing their applications with connectivity to Office file formats.The Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable is not intended:. As a general replacement for Jet (If you need a general replacement for Jet you should use ). As a replacement for the Jet OLEDB Provider in server-side applications. As a general word processing, spreadsheet or database management system-To be used as a way to create files.
(You can use Microsoft Office or Office automation to create the files that Microsoft Office supports.). To be used by a system service or server-side program where the code will run under a system account, or will deal with multiple users identities concurrently, or is highly reentrant and expects stateless behavior.
Examples would include a program that is run from task scheduler when no user is logged in, or a program called from server-side web application such as ASP.NET, or a distributed component running under COM+ services.The Office System Drivers are only supported under certain scenarios, including:. Desktop applications which read from and write to various files formats including Microsoft Office Access, Microsoft Office Excel and text files. To transfer data between supported file formats and a database repository, such as SQL Server.
For example, to transfer data from an Excel workbook into SQL Server using the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard or SQL Server Integration Services (provided the SSIS jobs run in the context of a logged-on user with a valid HKEYCURRENTUSER registry hive).
