    I'm trying to connect an Excel file to my application using an ADODB DataLinq connection, but when I test the connection I get the error: "Failure: Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed."

    Simon Redmile,

    I'm a little confused. Do I need to install the whole system (Xpression)? I already uninstalled all my software and reinstalled the 32‑bit version (Xpression Designer), but I still get the same problem.

    Could Kaspersky Antivirus cause this type of problem?

    Did you click the second link?

    It's a 32bit driver for excel.
