Cannot create an instance of OLE DB provider Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 for linked server null

问题

I am trying to export from my Table data into Excel through T-SQL query. After little research I came up with this

INSERT INTO OPENROWSET (\'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0\', 
                        \'Excel 8.0;Database=G:\\Test.xls;\', 
                        \'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]\') 
SELECT * 
FROM   dbo.products

When I execute the above query am getting this error

Msg 7302, Level 16, State 1, Line 7 Cannot create an instance of OLE DB provider \"Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0\" for linked server \"(null)\".

So went through internet for solution, got the below link

https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/spike/2008/07/23/ole-db-provider-microsoft-jet-oledb-4-0-for-linked-server-null-returned-message-unspecified-error/

In the above link they were saying like we need to be administrator to create folder in C drive TEMP folder since OPENROWSET creates some files or folder inside TEMP folder

I am doing this in My Home PC and I am the administrator. Still am getting the same error.

SQL SERVER details

Microsoft SQL Server 2016 (RC1) - 13.0.1200.242 (X64) Mar 10 2016 16:49:45 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation Enterprise Evaluation Edition (64-bit) on Windows 10 Pro 6.3 (Build 10586: )

Any pointers to fix the problem will be highly appreciated

Update : Already I have configured the Ad Hoc Distributed Queries and

Executed the below queries

EXEC master.dbo.sp_MSset_oledb_prop N\'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0\', N\'AllowInProcess\', 1
GO 
EXEC master.dbo.sp_MSset_oledb_prop N\'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0\', N\'DynamicParameters\', 1
GO

now am getting this error

Msg 7438, Level 16, State 1, Line 7 The 32-bit OLE DB provider \"Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0\" cannot be loaded in-process on a 64-bit SQL Server.

I have MS Sql server 2012, and Office 2013. This seems to be very finicky, so you may have to adjust to your particular versions.

Download the Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 for Windows, 64 bit version found here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13255
Install it on your server.
Check the user running SQL Server and make sure that user has access to the temp directory C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Temp if it's a local service account or C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Local\Temp if it's a network service account.
Configure 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries' and enable the Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB files like this:

Here's the SP_CONFIGURE commands:

SP_CONFIGURE 'show advanced options', 1; 
GO 
RECONFIGURE; 
SP_CONFIGURE 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', 1; 
GO 
RECONFIGURE; 
EXEC sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', N'AllowInProcess', 1   
EXEC sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', N'DynamicParam', 1

On newer SQL Server 2014 You had use 'DynamicParameters' instead of 'DynamicParam'

EXEC sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', N'DynamicParameters', 1

Make sure you register msexcl40.dll like this:

regsvr32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\msexcl40.dll

Check out sp_configure /RECONFIGURE...

sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
GO
RECONFIGURE;
GO
sp_configure 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', 1;
GO
RECONFIGURE;
GO

Works !!! Great thanks. Just for 64-bit Win server 2012R2. Let me put the whole working script partially repeating bits from above which are not easy (as for me) to combine together:

1) Download the Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 for Windows, 64 bit version found here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13255

2) Create excel file with respective columns (name and class in this case).

3) Run code below:

sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;  
RECONFIGURE;
GO 
sp_configure 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', 1;  
RECONFIGURE;  
GO 

/* -- Not sure commented bits are necessary but I also have run them
EXEC master.dbo.sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', N'AllowInProcess', 1
GO 
EXEC master.dbo.sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', N'DynamicParameters', 1
GO 

-- below two lines failed with: Msg 2787, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_MSset_oledb_prop, Line 106 Invalid format specification: '%1!.'.
    EXEC sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', N'AllowInProcess', 1   
EXEC sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', N'DynamicParam', 1

-- but works all two as below:
EXEC sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', N'AllowInProcess', 1   
EXEC sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', N'DynamicParameters', 1
-- Succeded to run after success with Excel so does not looks like necessary


*/

INSERT INTO OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', 
'Excel 8.0;Database=C:\testing.xlsx;', 
'SELECT Name, Class FROM [Sheet1$]') 
SELECT [Name],[Class] FROM Qry_2
GO

Please Execute the below queries to fix this problem:

EXEC master.dbo.sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', N'AllowInProcess', 1
GO 
EXEC master.dbo.sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', N'DynamicParameters', 1
GO
