Hopefully, someone has solution.

Answer 1

I cannot confirm myself, but I had similar issue with installing database driver for Office integration with another software.
It is important if you install 32bit or 64bit version of the driver. Even if your system is 64bit, sometimes only the 32bit driver will work.

Answer 2

Make sure the driver installation completed successfully.

Uninstall / reinstall as necessary, and be sure to install with an account that owns administrative privileges (not regular users).
