I’ve got a console application that reads plain old txt files into datasets. My new machine (Dell Studio XPS 16) has got Windows 7 64-bit on it. Running the app I got this error:

The reason for this is that the provider does not have a 64-bit version and the application wasn’t compiled for a specified version. So you just need to build it for x86 specifically.
