Hi all
I’m doing a programming course at university using visual studio, using c# as the language.
I’ve run in to a annoying issue which is that I cannot access database files through C#, which is resolved by installing the correct version of jet engine in my case that’s the 64 bit version.
unfortunately this will not work as i have a mixed collection of MS office programs most being 32 bit and this seems to conflict with the installation.
the error message when I try to install tells me to uninstall the 32 bit MS office programs and then install the database engine.
I’m wondering if there is a way around this without tearing out all my office programs?
or
could I uninstall them then install the jet engine then install the office programs again?
this is on a win 7 64 bit system if that helps at all.
thank you in advance for any advice you can provide.
