Rhino 5 64-Bit Compatibility?

by Peter Schmidt

Jan 8, 2013

Hello All, I have just downloaded and installed slingshot along with the accompanying MySQL database, MySQL Connector, and .Net Setup.  I first attempted a simple excel read I have run an identical script in both Rhino 4 and Rhino 5 it returns cell values in Rhino 4 (32-Bit) however in Rhino 5 (64-Bit) I get:

System.InvalidOperationException: The 'Microsoft.ACE.0LEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine.

From what I can tell this seems to an issue caused by Rhino 5 being a 64 bit program.  

Is there a different version of the dotNet Framework I should install to fix this or has slingshot just not caught up to Rhino 5?

Attached are two images of the same code in both versions of Rhino showing the error message.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Pete

    To be honest, Slingshot is in need of some love lately so there might be problems with Rhino 5.  Could you verify that you are using the latest version?

    You should be using version 0.882 which will come with the appropriate *.dlls which need to be placed in the same folder as the *.ghas.
    Thanks,
