DTS_E_OLEDB_EXCEL_NOT_SUPPORTED : Resolved

  • Article

Today morning i was working with a SSIS package and came across this error while running the package through a SQL Agent Job on a 64 Bit WIn SRV 08 running SQL 08 SP1.

A little more about my dev environment:

My Dev machine is running a 64 bit Win 7 RC with 08 BIDS

My Production machine is running SQL 08 SP1 on Win 08 all 64 Bit.

What I am doing?

Creating a SSIS package to get some data stored in a Excel File (Office 2003 Format) on a remote share to my production warehouse.

What's the Error?

Simply put…

Why the error?

Excel Connection Manager is not supported on 64 bit runtime

How I resolved?

1. Open up the Agent Job >> Go to Steps :

2. Double click and Open the Step >> Go to Execution Options and Select Use 32 bit Runtime
