could not find installable ISAM

[nosfa]

I'm trying to populate a dataset from an excel sheet but I keep getting a "could not find installable ISAM" error. (In order to evaluate an indexed property, the property must be qualified and the arguments must be explicitly supplied by the user.) on the adapter.Fill line.

Already tried changing to Jet with an xls file but the error doesn't go away, also with other excel version properties and with and without xml.
x64 Visual Studio 2013
Any ideas?
Thanks

I do not know if this is required, but you are missing the termininating ";"

"Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=D:\20130305.xlsx; Extended Properties=Excel 14.0;HDR=YES;"

You mention x64, did you install the x64 version of Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable ?

[nosfa]

it's not the semicolon.
and yes, I've installed the x64 Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable

Let's start with the easy one. Your extended properties represent an embedded string and should be quoted:

"Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=D:\20130305.xlsx; Extended Properties=""Excel 14.0;HDR=YES"""

[nosfa]

didn't work either with xlsx / ace.oledb

I decided to try again with the xls / jet and made it work with this:

 connectionstring = "Provider=Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=D:\20130305.xls; Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=YES"";" 
        sql = "SELECT * FROM [Medicamentos(1)$]"

so I'll leave it with that

Thanks

Ok, you said that you installed the 64-bit Access Engine. Now you say that your application works using the Jet provider that is strictly a 32-bit driver. This implies that your application is 32-bit and is likely the reason that it could not find a suitable ISAM.
