Accessing Excel files on a x64 machine

In the old times while all the CPUs were 32bit, we were happily using JET OLEDB Provider reaching Excel or MDB files for long time without any issues.After we started using x64 CPUs and x64 Windows machines, we noticed that JET OLEDB Provider is not working. The reason for this was x64 Windows operating systems were not containing x64 bit JET OLEDB Provider but they had 32bit JET OLEDB Provider.
