Hello comunity

On SQL server 2008 most of the time i have used a linkedserver to access excel file with this script:

EXEC sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'ExcelDataSource',
@srvproduct=N'ExcelData', @provider=N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0',
@datasrc=N'C:\Invoice\teste.xls',
@provstr=N'EXCEL 12.0' ;
GO

EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'ExcelDataSource', 'false';
GO

and finally the query:

SELECT *
FROM ExcelDataSource...[folha1$];

Now on sql server 2012, after install the provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0"

IF i run test connection , i have this error:

TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
------------------------------

The test connection to the linked server failed.

------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)

------------------------------

Cannot create an instance of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "ExcelDataSource". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7302)

For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft%20SQL%20Server&ProdVer=11.00.3000&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=7302&LinkId=20476

------------------------------
BUTTONS:

OK
------------------------------

If i run the Select statment, i have this one:

Msg 7302, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Cannot create an instance of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "ExcelDataSource".

Someone could me some help to solve this issue.

Note : my OS is Win8 64 bit and Microsoft SQL Server Business Intelligence (64-bit)

Many thanks,
Luis Santos
