How To Install Microsoft Access Engine ODBC Connector
Step-by-step guide
By default, Microsoft does not allow both the x64 and x86 Microsoft Access Engine ODBC Connectors to be installed on the same machine simultaneously. There is a workaround for this.
If you have the x64 version already installed and wish to install the x86 version alongside it follow these steps:
Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the directory where AccessDatabaseEngine_X64.exe is located.
Hold shift and right-click in the blank space within that window.
Select “Open command window here.”
Type “AccessDatabaseEngine_X64.exe /passive” without the quotes.
The installer window will appear and complete silently. There will not be a notification that it completed successfully.
