AccessDataSource on 64 bit machine

B

I'm trying to use the new 2.0 datasource controls to connect to a MS
Access database. I'm using a machine that is running Windows XP Pro
x64. I have no trouble connecting to SQL Server using the
SQLDataSource control but when I try to connect to MS Access with the
AccessDataSource control I get the following error:

The 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' provider is not registered on the local
machine.

Unfortunately, I can't find a MS Jet 4.0 service pack that will install
on my 64 bit machine and I've heard rumors that MS won't be providing
one. I tried creating an ODBC DSN, using a connection string and a
SQLDataProvider but this didn't seem to work. Has anyone had any
success with this on a 64 bit machine?
