The 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered

Yi Rong Tan

Hi everyone, I got this error message saying "The 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine." when I am creating a data source to connect to my Microsoft Access Database. I am using Visual Studio 2013 and Windows 8.1. Anyone here is able to advice on how to fix this problem? Thanks!

After following the stated instructions, I got another problem when I hit the 'test connection button'. May I know how to continue from here?
