    Hi friends, I am getting the following message when I am trying to install the Ace 16.0 64 bit drivers

    You cannot install the 64-bit version of Microsoft Access Database Engine 2016 because you currently have 32-bit Office Products installed. If you want to install 64-bit MS access Engine 2016, you need remove the 32-bit installation of Office Products.

    But here is the thing I am trying to install these drivers with Passive switch as below, still I am getting this error

    C:\Personal Docs\DownLoads\Ace Drivers>AccessDatabaseEngine_X64.exe /passive

    Just as it is mentioned here: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad-civil-3d/learn-explore/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/How-to-install-64-bit-Microsoft-Database-Drivers-alongside-32-bit-Microsoft-Office.html Earlier I did it with Ace 12.0 64 bit drivers, I could able to install both the 32 and 64 bit Ace 12.0 drivers side by side with Passive switch, to do the same with Ace 16.0 its not working is there any Work around to install these 64 and 32 bit drivers side by side, any link, a suggestion anything helps my friends its little urgent - thanks in advance my friends. Thanks, Abdul Aleem "There is already enough hatred in the world lets spread love, compassion and affection."

      Did you fudge the registry as suggested in the article? Either way, it is unlikely that Microsoft would support this, so if it does not work there is probably nothing you can do.

        --- Solution 1 Use a Virtual Machine (VM). One OS in VM 'A' would have one version and the other VM would have the other. If you actually need both on a single machine in the delivery (production) then you could. 1. Create a service that encapsulates one service and exposes one, not both of the drivers. Call this driver 'A' 2. It doesn't do anything but allow you to run the driver. 3. Run that in a VM 4. On the regular machine (not VM) install the other driver 'B', then you app uses 'B' directly and makes rest calls to the service, via the VM, to run 'A'. --- Solution 1 This might or might not work. And it would take a lot of experimentation. And you MUST check the license agreement to validate this usage. 1. Neither driver should be installed. 2. Install one driver, probably 32 bit one 3. Determine exactly what files were installed. 4. Copy those files somewhere. 5. Uninstall the driver. 6. Install the other driver. 7. Create a library that encapsulates the first driver in the executable itself. So not as an installed driver but rather as a library. Your library exposes the functionality you need. 8. Use your library to get to the first driver and the regular idiom to get to the second. Note that if you can get this to work then it might best to do it with both drivers rather than relying on different access methodologies.
