The 'VFPOLEDB' provider is not registered

[dpdoug]

I'm trying to connect to a FoxPro database from .NET

I've downloaded and registered the provider from Microsoft.

When I run the test I get this error

The 'VFPOLEDB' provider is not registered on the local machine

Here's my connection string:

   Dim cnn As OleDbConnection
   cnn = New OleDbConnection()
   cnn.ConnectionString = "Provider=VFPOLEDB;" & _
       "DataSource=C:\testing\reqsys.dbc;" & _
       "Mode=ReadWrite|Share Deny None;Collating" & _
       "Sequence=MACHINE;Password=''"
   
   cnn.Open()
