Application deployment problem

Question

Hello Everyone, I developed an application using VS 2008 and MS Access2007 and it works fine. Now have to make a setup of it(this is my first project). I gone through many tutorials about deployment, I tried VS 2008 setup and deployment, but after installation it only runs in my machine and not in others..sometimes it shows error(The 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine(but that machine had both VS2008 and MS Access installed)). Its over a week now, i tried what i can and still trying, cant believe that i am strucked here, nothing seems to work. Please help... The link below is my project, so if any of you could spare a little time to check the project and help me with the SetUp.

That is an issue with ADO. You can fix that by setting project to compile as 32 bit application. It could be done by opening the Configuration Manager from the Build. From there you should be able to set the Active solution platform and create configuration that specifically target x86.

Alternatively use Project Properties

VB.Net: goto Compile tab, Advanced Compile Options..., Target CPU set x86
C#: goto Build, Platform target and set x86
