Problem with "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" not being registered

[scottg...@gmail.com]

My PC is Windows Vista Ultimate - 64 bit
EasyTask Manager installed just fine, but when trying to run the
application, I get the following error:

The 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' provider is not registered on the
local machine

If I press the "continue" button, the application will open. However,
the context information and the projects do not show up in the left
pane of the application. Also, when I try to use any of the buttons
to begin adding information, I get the same message as before. I can
either quit, show the detail of the error, or press the continue
button.

The application is useless like this - any information on what I can
do to get it running correctly will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Scott Smith

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Hi Scott,

EasyTask is not compatible with 64-bit Vista.
