'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine

Hello,

I’m getting error “Get_Global_Setting_From_Access: The ‘Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.’ provider is not registered on the local machine”, when I run any workflow in UIPath. It was working just fine until this couple of days ago.

My coworker encountered similar issue a while back and suggested to use 32 bit MS access odbc connection. Upon doing it, it still gave me same error.

Also, I read some post here suggesting rename access db .mdb and I did it but that too gave same error.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks Palaniyappan for the prompt response. I’m waiting for my help desk to revert back since I’m not supposed to do it on my own. I keep you updated.

Thanks!
