Winpe 4.0 x86 and MSJet OLEDB 4.0

[dthakkar]

I decided to move to Visual Studio 2010 GUI from VB6 for my unattended install. I am using Access database. In order to support .net GUI i decided to use WinPE 4.0.

However, when I boot to WinPE 4.0 32bit, when my VB2010 program tries to access my Access database I get the following Error: "The Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 provider is not registered on the local machine" My GUI works perfectly fine in Windows 7 environment as well as Server 2012. However, under WinPE 4.0 32bit I get the error. My VB2010 code is compiled for x86.

I searched on google but I could not find anything to resolve my issue. It seems WinPe 4.0 does not have Microsoft Jet engine files. I did add MDAC package when I built WinPE image.

Has anyone tried using Access DB under WinPE? I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks,

Deepak

The MDAC package is only really for MMSQL connections. There is a custom MSJet package floating around online but I never tried it.
