I am trying to refer ACEOLEDB.DLL in my project but it's giving me following error:

A reference to the "ACEOLEDB.DLL" could not be added.Please make sure that the file is accessible and that it is a valid assembly or COM component.

I copied above dll from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE14 folder.

I am completely blank why visual studio 2012 is not allowing me to refer this DLL.

Why do you need to add a reference to this library? – Steve Sep 23 '14 at 10:25
@Steve Actually mine is a web app hosted on azure, so I cannot install database engine on azure, So I am planning to refer the ACEOLEDB DLL in my project and deploy it on Azure – Supriya Sep 23 '14 at 10:28
@Freelancer I dont think so, but can you please let me know how to find out its corrupted or not – Supriya Sep 23 '14 at 10:30
