I am new to SSIS and my other SSIS VS2008 projects are working fine but in this one i had to read the data from excel so i am using my existing code but getting this error .

  //excel to data table
            public  System.Data.DataTable exceltodatatable()
            {
                System.Data.DataTable myTable = null; ;
                try
                {

                    System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection MyConnection;

                    System.Data.DataSet DtSet;
                    System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter MyCommand;
                    //  string path = @"D:\projects\excel\spec.xlsx";
                    //string connStr = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + path + ";Extended Properties=Excel 12.0;";
                    MyConnection = new System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source='D:\\projects\\excel_tEST\\ConsoleApplication13\\ConsoleApplication13\\bin\\Debug\\excel\\clublist.xlsx';Extended Properties=Excel 12.0;");
                    MyCommand = new System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter("select * from [Sheet1$]", MyConnection);
                    MyCommand.TableMappings.Add("Table", "TestTable");
                    DtSet = new System.Data.DataSet();
                    MyCommand.Fill(DtSet);
                    myTable = DtSet.Tables[0];
                    MyConnection.Close();
                    myTable.Columns.Add("someNewColumn", typeof(string));
                    int i = 0;
                    foreach (DataRow drOutput in myTable.Rows)
                    {
                        //  drOutput["Preferred Version"] = drOutput["Preferred Version"].ToString().Replace("**", "yes");
                        //your remaining codes
                        int count = drOutput[0].ToString().Length;
                        if (count <= 24)
                        {
                            myTable.Rows[i][1] = "3"; ;
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            myTable.Rows[i][1] = "4"; ;
                        }
                        i++;

                    }
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                    //MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
                }

                // myTable.Columns.Remove("Author");
                return myTable;
            }

This is the Screenshot of my error . Any help?

This is the error given when the OLEDB driver is not able to find the provider you specified. Given the fact that it works in Visual Studio (I'm assuming on the same computer), you may look into whether you're building the application as 64-bit rather than 32-bit. The provider you have installed is likely x86, and therefore has to be called from an x86 application.

Try setting your runtime to 32-bit (follow this guide) and see if that fixes your error.
