I am trying to create a dsn for ms access in windows 7. But its showing:
"The setup routines for the Microsoft Access Driver(*.mdb) ODBC driver could not be found.Please reinstall the driver. " and
"Error found:
The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application."
I am using Microsoft Office 2003 version. I have tried to run C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe also. But still getting this error. Now can anyone please suggest me to solve this error..
Thanks
You can run the setup again for Office 2003 and make sure to install the appropriate ODBC drivers:

If you open ODBC, you should be able to the full list of drivers installed and verify that either the older ones from Office 2003, or the newer ones you installed, are available. If they are, you can create a new ODBC DSN or edit the existing one to point to the drivers you want.

I am using microsoft office 365 pro plus (2016)
I am trying to install Microsoft access driver *.accbd in ODBC data source administrtor.
I installed Micorsoft access database engine 2016 , After that i can see the driver .mdb but not the .accdb
I went to C:\windows\syswow64 and ran the odbcad32 as an administrtor but even though the .accdb is not listed.
What else i can do to make it work?
I have just found out that the .accdb drivers installed on system32 folder. So when i access the odbc data source manager from system32 folder then it works.
I still do not know how i can have them on SysWOW64 folder.
i'm not able to add comment to your answer, so i'll post it as an "answer".
There are two versions of odbc administrator on windows 7 and up, 32bit and 64bit,
you may need to make sure the right one is running, depends on your OS.

Please explain this one to me ....
I am on a x64 bit computer (well, not literally standing on it :) ). And I have Office x64 installed, including x64 Microsoft Access.
Using Access I can open ACCDB and MDB files. yet, if I run the x64 ODBC Drivers component there is NO Microsoft Access Database (*.mdb, *.accdb) driver listed.
The only way I can get it listed is if I install the x64 Access 2013
Runtime. Then it shows up.
Why is it not showing if I have access only installed?
Basically, I am trying to detect if my own executable is going to be able to open the ACCDB database OK. I do that by examining what drivers are installed.
I had the same problem on a 64 bit Windows 10 system with 64 bit Office 2016. I was missing 64 bit ODBC Access drivers. Listing drivers (from Python's pyodbc module) showed only:
'SQL Server'
'PostgreSQL ODBC Driver(ANSI)'
'PostgreSQL ODBC Driver(UNICODE)'
I installed the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2016 Redistributable from Microsoft's site and it came with the extra drivers needed. I could then list:
'SQL Server'
'PostgreSQL ODBC Driver(ANSI)'
'PostgreSQL ODBC Driver(UNICODE)'
'Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)'
'Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls, *.xlsx, *.xlsm, *.xlsb)'
'Microsoft Access dBASE Driver (*.dbf, *.ndx, *.mdx)'
'Microsoft Access Text Driver (*.txt, *.csv)'
And I was able to query an accdb file using the ODBC drivers from Python.
Downloading from the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2016 Redistributable at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=54920 also worked for me. It may go without saying, but I think it's worth noting that if your application/executable uses 32-bit drivers and you download the 64-bit Access Database Engine, the 32-bit application/executable may not recognize the Microsoft Access Database (*.mdb, *.accdb) driver.
I'm trying to connect to an Access database via a UDL file. I'm wanting to generate a connection string so that I can connect to an access database via ADO.NET. It's been a few years since I've tried to do this.
I have Visual Studio 2015 Pro and Microsoft Access 2016 installed on my Windows 10 x64 pro machine. When I create a .udl file I have the following available options:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Search
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
Microsoft OLE DB Simple Provider
MSDataShape
OLE DB Provider for Microsoft Directory Services
SQL Server Native Client 11.0
I think that in years past I would also see Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB in this list. From the research I've done I think that Jet 4.0 is deprecated and that I should be using the Access Database Engine. I find the following versions that I think are that:
Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable
Microsoft Access 2013 Runtime
Microsoft Access 2016 Runtime
I downloaded the x64 version of Microsoft Access 2016 Runtime and when I try to install it I get the following error:
We can’t install the 64-bit version of Office because we found the following 32-bit programs on your PC:
Office 16 Click-to-Run Extensibility Component
Please uninstall all 32-bit Office programs, then retry installing 64-bit Office. If you want to install 32-bit Office instead, please run the 32-bit setup.
I've tried the 32-bit version of the Microsoft Access 2016 Runtime and I get the same message:
We can’t install the 32-bit version of Office because we found the following 64-bit programs on your PC:
Office 16 Click-to-Run Extensibility Component 64-bit Registration
Please uninstall all 64-bit Office programs, then retry installing 32-bit Office. If you want to install 64-bit Office instead, please run the 64-bit setup.
I've tried closing all open Microsoft Office and Visual Studio applications and I get the same error. Am I installing the right component? Any way to get it to install correctly?
You probably miss the ACE driver listed here - and only this, not the runtimes:
Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable
server 2008r2 x64,
mysql 5.5.24 x86,
access 2007 x86
im trying to connect mysql backend to access 2007 frontend...
after I installed mysql-connector-odbc-5.1.12-win32.msi and rebooted server. that driver will not show up in the drivers tab of ODBC Datasource administrator.or in the list of drivers if i try to add a new driver
also installed mysql-connector-odbc-5.2.5-win32.msi also just to try newer version, that does not show up either. repaired both install, rebooted, reinstalled, same thing. all i see is a mysql driver...
any ideas whats going on?
UPDATE:
Used C:\Windows\system32\odbcad32.exe and same results.. no driver there...
really not sure whats going on... any special dependancies required? not sure what i could be missing.. as i said, neither driver is visible, yet both installed without error (to my knowledge, are there install logs???)
default path for both drivers during installation was c:\programs Files (x86)\MySQL\connector ODBC 5.1\ or c:\rograms Files (x86)\MySQL\connector ODBC 5.2\
any thoughts?
After installing 32-bit ODBC components onto a 64-bit machine you need to run the 32-bit ODBC Administrator, normally found at
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
If you just go the normal Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Data Sources (ODBC) route then you will be looking at the 64-bit environment, and your 32-bit options will not be visible.
I am using windows 7 64 bit,VS 2010 and MS Office 2010. Trying to build an ssis pkg using an excel source, the problem arises as below.
Could not retrieve the table information for the connection manager 'Excel Connection Manager'.
Failed to connect to the source using the connection manager 'Excel Connection Manager'
I found some solutions on internet, tried these steps by
1) installing the MS access database engine 2010 redistributable_x64.exe. I restarted the system, But still the problem persists. i couldnt find the provider in the list of providers in the oledb source and so selected the jet 4.0 oledb provider and changed the extended properties to Excel 12.0, then i get the following error:
Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Could not find installable ISAM.
and also if i use excel source, its throwing me an error as given above on the top.
2) Also, changed the run 64bit runtime to false and also back to True again.
3) tried to change the platform of the project , but it is disabled.
Could yopu please help me. Thanks in advance.
You need to install the 32 bits provider.
Even though your windows is 64 bits, the SSDT development environment is a 32-bit environment. The reason why you cant find the provider in the list of providers is because it only shows 32-bit data providers. You can only see 64-bit providers that have a 32-bit version available on the development machine.
Though its bit late but might to very helpful for other guys.
Visual Studio 2010/2012 comes with 32-bit version only and hence it cannot use ACE OLEDB 64-bit version, which comes with installation of office 2010 64-bit version.
So the solution here would be uninstall 64-bit version office 2010 and install it's 32-bit version. Re-try to add the excel connection manager.
This has resolved my issue and hope for other guys as well.
