As computers come off the assembly line with 64-bit versions installed, we're unable to keep up with support requests when our software breaks something. Trust me, we've tried to educate users that 64-bit Office is largely unnecessary, to no avail. However, the problem begins when Office 2010 64-bit is installed on the system. Indeed, when we install 32-bit drivers on a 64-bit machine, and run our 32-bit applications, it works correctly. So, we are under the assumption that the driver must also be installed as 32-bit. Our software deals with a lot of legacy components that are 32-bit, and much of it is in VB6 code, which generates 32-bit assembly. However, apparently you need to always install the 32-bit version if the host process is always 32-bit. The engine comes in 64-bit and 32-bit forms, which is good.

32 on 64) will cause the install to fail.We currently have a major issue using Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010. Launching the install of a Microsoft ACE OLEDB Provider on a machine with an Office install other than the current one (e.g. To install the Microsoft ACE OLEDB Provider 64-bit on a machine running Office 2010 32-bit:.To install the Microsoft ACE OLEDB Provider 32-bit on a machine running Office 2010 64-bit:.To have it run properly you need to launch it from a command line with the “ /passive” 32 on 64) will cause the install to fail. Please try the following link, which focus on Office 2010: Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable If you have a 64 bit machine and have Office 32 bit installed, you can try to download the 32 bit version of the Access Database Engine.
