I started exploring around the Visual Studio 2008 and God damn it.. I was kinda stuck and got emo for couple of hours because they told me I do not have Jet OLEDB 4.0 installed to run / connect my program to the database.
First, when you attempt to extract information from the database, which in this case, just a simple authentication panel where it reads the username and matches the hashed password in the database, it returns the following error.
This is weird, I made sure I have both 4.0 and 10.0 before running but it still give me such error, problem after looking into my compiler, it’s targeted to run on any pc. That’s the problem, for a x86 machine, some of this issue occurs and even the most common driver issue you will face problem. Example, I am not able to install a Adobe Pro PDF printer driver too because of the driver was not written to be compatible with 64-bit operating system. Well, to solve that problem in Visual Studio 2008, try the following step method [Click to have a larger view] :
You might be asking since there is such a lot of hassle with drivers issue, why I still choose to use a 64-bit operating system, in this case – Windows 7 Professional (64-bit) – x64. Reason, simple! It supports memory of DDR3 more than the usual 3GB and also it providers faster accessibility. Not to worry on the driver issues too much because sooner or later, all machine will be compliant to 64-bit.
X64 means compliance with 64-bit architecture of CPU
X86 means compliance with 32-bit architecture of CPU
