Compact Access 2007 Database on 64bit windows 2008 Server - winforms

Question

I am facing problem while using JRO in winform application to compact access database on windows server 2008 R2 (64bit) server. I followed below steps:
Configuration of Development PC:
OS : Windows XP Professional Ver: 2002 (SP3) 32Bit
MSOffice 2003 Installed: Yes
Visual Studio: 2010 Premium
.Net framework: 4.0.30319
Two winform App with below code are created:
Application 1: For compacting Access 2007 DB
Target Platform is set to x86 and Added reference of Microsoft Jet and Replication Objects 2.6 Library
Config file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<startup><supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0,Profile=Client"/></startup>
<appSettings>
<add key="SourceDB" value="Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=D:\Test\Test2007.accdb;Jet OLEDB:Engine Type=5"/>
<add key="DestDB" value="Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=D:\Test\Test2007BK.accdb;Jet OLEDB:Engine Type=5"/>
<add key="AppDB" value="Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=D:\Test\Test2007.accdb;" />
</appSettings>
</configuration>
Code:
string SrcDBName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SourceDB"];
string DestDBName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["DestDB"];
int ReturnCode = 0;
JRO.JetEngine objJRO = null;
try
{
MessageBox.Show("Start Compact");
objJRO = new JRO.JetEngine();
objJRO.CompactDatabase(SrcDBName, DestDBName);
MessageBox.Show("End Compact");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("Error in Compact");
ReturnCode = -1;
StackTrace STrace = new StackTrace(ex, true);
StackFrame StkFrame = STrace.GetFrame(STrace.FrameCount - 1);
string Disp_Msg = "Message:\t" + ex.Message + Environment.NewLine;
Disp_Msg += "Error Date:\t" + DateTime.Now.ToString("dddd, MMM d yyyy HH:mm:ss");
//MessageBox.Show(Disp_Msg, "Compact Utility", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
File.AppendAllText(Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath) + #"\CompactErr.txt", Disp_Msg + Environment.NewLine + "Stack Trace:\t" + ex.StackTrace + Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine);
}
finally
{
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(objJRO);
objJRO = null;
}
Application 2: For Testing Connection with Access 2007
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
//Connection Test
MessageBox.Show("Start DBConn");
TestConn();
MessageBox.Show("End DBConn");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("Error in Conn Opening");
string Disp_Msg = "Message:\t" + ex.Message + Environment.NewLine;
Disp_Msg += "Error Date:\t" + DateTime.Now.ToString("dddd, MMM d yyyy HH:mm:ss");
File.AppendAllText(Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath) + #"\CompactErr.txt", Disp_Msg + Environment.NewLine + "Stack Trace:\t" + ex.StackTrace + Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine);
}
}
public void TestConn()
{
string strConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AppDB"];
DbConnection objConnection;
DbProviderFactory objFactory = OleDbFactory.Instance;
objConnection = objFactory.CreateConnection();
objConnection.ConnectionString = strConnectionString;
objConnection.Open();
objConnection.Close();
}
Now above 2 exe are deployed on Win2008 Server:
Server Details:
Windows Server 2008 R2 (SP1) - 64bit
NO MSOffice
NO Visual Studio
Installed: Microsoft Office Access Database Engine 2010
Case 1: when Access DB Engine 2010 (64bit) is installed:
Link: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=13255
Connection to Access 2007 (Test2007.accdb) is CORRECTLY DONE
Compact of DB using JRO NOT WORKED
Error Message while executing Step 2:
Message:Class not registered
Stack Trace:at JRO.IJetEngine.CompactDatabase(String SourceConnection, String Destconnection)
at CompactUtility.Program.Main(String[] args)
Case 2: when Access DB Engine 2007 is installed:
Link: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=23734
Connection to Access 2007 (Test2007.accdb) is NOT DONE
Compact of DB using JRO CORRECTLY WORKED
Error Message while executing Step 1:
Message: The 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine.
Any Suggestion/help will be highly appreciated to solve both working on windows server 2008 (64bit) server.
Also refereed below links but not helpful:
Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 provider is not registered
Thanks,

Answer 1

I know, it's an old question but still, This link did help me with the second issue.
If i remember correctly, the problem stems from a 64bit issue with the engine.
Adding the Component into Visual Studio should fix this behaviour.
