I have recently changed my Access database from 32 bits to 64 bits and now I am having database connection issues. When I attempt to reconfigure or create a new connection I get the following message:

The 'Microsoft.OleDB.12' provider is not registered on the local machine.

I have tinkered around with my project settings enough to have completely messed up the project. So I started a whole new project with a new solution, etc. and still get the error.

I am at a complete loss as to what can be done, except the possibility of going back to 32 bit Access, which seems like a very poor solution.
