Get the latest MDAC files from microsoft and update them on your target computers. I had that problem here, especially with our older computers. If you are not running MDAC 2.5 or higher, it probably does not know what Access is.

I download MDAC 2.5 to that system I try to install my program but still giving same problem

You havent mentioned the OS used for building the exe and also, the computer where you are trying to run your setup. Just try to change your connection string to Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0. This should work, even after this if you get the same error then download the Jet 4.0 SP6 from microsoft and try.
