KB: Troubleshoot Error Provider Cannot Be Found when Translating .IntLib to .DBLib

Altium Designer Altium Designer
Starting in version: 18 Up to Current

Trying to convert an .IntLib into a .DBLib using the menu option Tools ► Import from Integrated Libraries when the .DBLib is active in the workspace brings up this Error: "An error was encountered exporting. Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed. The export has been aborted."

Solution Details

To determine if this is an issue with the file, try the same steps on a known good file such as the Miscellaneous Devices.IntLib example library which can be found here: 
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Altium\[ADversion]\Library

This might be a Microsoft Access issue. You can try performing the on-line repair of Office from Windows's control panel.  Different methods are required based on the version you are using.   Here is a link to a Microsoft office support article that should help:

You can also try installing the 64-bit Microsoft Access Database Engine (2010) from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=13255

From an elevated command prompt (run cmd.exe from a Windows search - right click and choose run as administrator), enter the file path and name of the 64-bit Microsoft Access Database Engine (2010) install file, followed by a space and the switch /passive, for example: 

C:\Users\<ProfileName>\Downloads\AccessDatabaseEngine_x64.exe /passive. 
The /passive switch runs the installation without showing (and skipping over) any error messages.

Open the Registry Editor (regedit.exe from a Windows search) and browse to the following path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\FilesPaths. Delete or rename the mso.dll registry entry.
Note that if you do not delete the mso.dll registry entry, you may get a reconfiguring message each time an Office application is accessed.
