BIDS 2008 SSIS Package Failing on Windows 7 64, PervasiveOLEDB.11.0 provider is not registered

Question

I have a BIDS 2008 SSIS Package accessing a Pervasive SQL database using the Pervasive PSQL OLE DB Provider.

The package was failing validation at run time with the following message in the Execution Results tab:

Error: System.InvalidOperationException: The 'PervasiveOLEDB.11.0' provider is not registered on the local machine.

Answer 1

Although I had verified that the Pervasive OLE DB provider had been successfully registered, BIDS was running my package under the 64 Bit Runtime, thus not finding a suitably registered 64-bit provider.

This was easily solved by going to the Project Properties > Debugging and setting the "Run64BitRuntime" to False.

Thanks to Miguel Salles on this thread for the insight.
