SQL Error – The ‘Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0’ provider is not registered on the local machine. (System.Data)

I was trying to export a SQL table to Excel and I got below error:

TITLE: SQL Server Import and Export Wizard

The operation could not be completed.

The ‘Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0’ provider is not registered on the local machine. (System.Data)

After searching a bit I came to know that the above provider is not installed, and I need to install the Microsoft Access Database Engine setup, to facilitate the transfer of data between existing Microsoft Office files such as “Microsoft Office Access 2010” (*.mdb and *.accdb) files and “Microsoft Office Excel 2010” (*.xls, *.xlsx, and *.xlsb) files to other data sources such as “Microsoft SQL Server”.

–> Get the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable, [link].

There will be two files:

1. AccessDatabaseEngine (for. 32-bit)

2. AccessDatabaseEngine_x64 i.e. 64-bit

If your SQL Server is 32 bit, then install just the first one.
But if its 64 bit, then install both, first 32 bit & then 64 bit.
