    Please include your code as text, not as a screenshot. – Rob Apr 06 '16 at 00:51

Having recently dealt with this myself, I believe you need the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13255

You have two options:

  1. 32-bit version (AccessDatabaseEngine.exe)
  2. 64-bit version (AccessDatabaseEngine_x64.exe)

You cannot install both at once. If you are targeting for the x86 platform, install the 32-bit version. If you are targeting for the x64 platform or AnyCPU, install the 64-bit version.
