title: How to install Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 on Win7 64b with SQLExpress 2008
body: <p>I was running VSExpress 2010 C# and SQLExpress 2008 on 32b XP.  Due to a failure I am now on Win7 64bit.  I have reinstalled VSExpress C# (64b).  I installed SQLExpress (64b) however my application uses the Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 driver to connect to a Office 2007 (32b) database.  I could not get the Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 to load on SQLExpress (64b).</p>
  
  <p>What do I need to do to get Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 working again in SQLExpress?  Do I need to run the 32bit version? (I have downloaded it but am having problems getting it to install so I am asking while I uninstall all of my SQLExpress)</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for the help.  (I saw a lot of similar issues addressed but could not find a solution for my specific problem)</p>
