Microsoft jet engine not available error.

[robert crossley]

I just installed a 64 bit version of Office 2013.  As I did it, it told me that I had to uninstall the 32 bit version of Access something, and so I did.

I then installed Office quite easily.

Now when I start MapInfo I get a “Microsoft Jet Engine is not available for error information” error message on start up.

What are the implications and is there a way of solving this?

Regards

Robert.

Robert,

 

Installing this add-on should fix the issue.

MapInfo Professional requires the 32-bit access COM components to work with Access databases and some Excel files. . If you are not using these you can ignore this. Otherwise, you need to get them installed and Microsoft does not support have both 64-bit and 32-bit Office components installed on the same machine. 

I am curious, if you don't mind saying, why you wanted the 64-bit Office version to begin with ? Do you use very large Excel spreadsheets?

Thanks Eric,

 

I installed the 64 bit version because I have a 64 bit machine and everything else is running 64 bit.  It is not the 2010 version of Office that is installed as per the article, but rather Office 2013.  This is the standard for all our office machines.

 

While I do not use large excel spreadsheets, I commonly use large Access DB either to an Access backend or SQL backend.  I imagine the additional memory available on 64 bit is an advantage there.  I do open these up in MapInfo as well.

 

From what you are saying, if I want to access data held in Access databases, or avoid that annoying error message when I start up MapInfo, I need to run the 32 bit version of Office 2013?

 

Regards

Robert.

Hi Robert, hit this a little while ago. From about Office 2007 onwards there is no longer any Jet engine, there is however one called ACE 4.0 that is the replacement

Yes the link is about 2010 but the issues have not changed.

I uninstalled all the 64 bit versions of Office (including visio and project) and then installed the 32 bit Office, and Mapinfo works without error now.  I did not have to install any additional data access programs as bill suggested.

 

May just have to wait for the 64 bit version of Mapinfo.

 

Thanks for the help.

Rob.
