I've inherited a C# program written in 2012 using VS2005. My PC doesn't have the original VS2005 or more importantly Microsoft.ACE.OLDDB.12.0 data provider which was used throughout to access Excel files used to populate data grids.
I don't want to rewrite the application as I only need to change a server path hard coded into the program and I don't have much time to complete it.
I've tried downloading the required file, but it is no longer available (understandable).
I have installed the ExcelDataReader and ExcelDataReader.DataSet packages and can create datasets. I haven't been able to figure out how to swap the original datasets, which are empty as there is no provider, with my new ones.
The wizards all start from a database source, which doesn't exist.
