To do this, users need to run the Windows command prompt as administrator (to open a command prompt, click "Start" then Run, then type "cmd.exe"), and type or cut-and-paste the following command:

Regsvr32.exe /u "Program Files\Common Files\System\Ole DB\oledb32.dll"

Fix your shit, kids.

I rarely use IE, but figured I should try this anyway. The command is giving me a weird message, though.

LoadLibrary failed - The specified module could not be found.

Any thoughts?

Try this instead: Regsvr32.exe /u "%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\System\Ole DB\oledb32.dll"

Seems to have worked, thank ya!

People still use IE?

Silly old bear...still, I could use this in my plot for world domination.

Muhahaha?

IE == Leprosy.

No no HELL NO!

Oh, and despite all the Spanish jokes, if you actually have a Spanish version of the OS, you need to type this:

Regsvr32.exe /u "Archivos de programa\Archivos comunes\System\Ole DB\oledb3.dll"

Note the sweetly consistent mixture of Spanish and English in that path. MS is <3.
