But these are not working for Windows 8
Can any one help to solve this issue

What does "not working" mean?

PatilVL 17-Feb-14 10:37am

when the program I developed (in VB 2010 using Access as database), is installed in client's computer Windows 8 / Office 2010, she gets error message
ACE OLEDB 12.0 not registered on local machine
So the program cannot be run
By the way, I have built program for platform x86 and I asked my client to download and install Access DB Engine
But this did not help

OK, so you know the answer. The client must download the ACE engine and install it. You should really package this up with your code and have it all as part of the installer so the client gets it installed automatically.

Sorry if my question was not clear.
THIS is NOT working in Windows 8 machine with Office 2010 (64 bit).
My problem is about this.

THIS is NOT working
What is not working, and what does "not working" mean? If you want people to help you then please give proper details of your problem.

When the program is installed in Windows 8 (office 2010), I get the error

"ACE OLEDB 12.0 is not registered in local machine"

Since this problem was discussed even in MSDN forum and solutions were offered
1. Install Access DB engine (32 bit and 64 bit)
2. Build targeting x86 instead of AnyCPU

But these were discussed in the context of Windows 7.
But presently I am facing the same problem (i.e. getting the error-
"ACE OLEDB 12.0 is not registered in local machine") when I try to install the program on machines with OS WIndows 8, though the same program works on Windows 7.
Hope I am clear

Are you certain that the ACE library is installed on the customer's system?

Yes. If you mean Access DB Engine, yes.
