Unable to read Excel file about linqtoexcel

[paulyoder]

(From the Readme)

If you want LinqToExcel to run in a 64 bit application, make sure to use the 64 bit version of the library.

You will also need to make sure to have the 64 bit version of the Access Database Engine installed on the computer.

Thanks.
Do I have to install MS Access or anything except for the usual .NET?
What if I compile the app as x86 (I tried that and it didn't help)?

Is there a x64 version on NuGet? This is the reason I want to use x86
version, cuz it's on NuGet.

You can directly bind class with ExcelDataReader like with LinqToExcel.
I have the same problem with OleDB provider (application in 64 bits and office in 32 bits) and I wrote an adpater to make ExcelDataReader work like LinqToExcel. Of course, not all functions are implemented but it's a good beginning...
Have a look to : CodePlex-ExcelDataReader

MS Excel doesn't have to be installed.
You may need to install install 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components (https://www.microsoft.com/en-nz/download/details.aspx?id=23734) besides installing Microsoft Access Database Engine (https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/confirmation.aspx?id=13255)
