Could not find installable ISAM. Excel 2007

I have seen the solutions to this problem, but I can't get any of them to work.

I have an asp page that works when I run the page through my localhost, but as soon as I try to run it on my web server it fails.

On a side note, I have tried both of the following:
Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0
Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0

I also modified the registry entry for: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Jet/4.0/Engines/Excel to point to C:\WINDOWS\System32\msexcel40.dll like my localhost is setup.

strWDir = "//mefspr01/groups/everyone/acct/AMS Working/Automation_Commission.xls"
 
set conExcel = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
strConnectionExcel = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" & strWDir & ";Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0; HDR=Yes;"""
conExcel.Open strConnectionExcel
 
  
' Load ADO Recordset with Excel Data
set rsExcel = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rsExcel.Open ("SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]"), strConnectionExcel

Open in new window

That is what I installed to load the Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 Provider.

I also updated the Excel 8.0 to Excel 12.0...

from this:
strConnectionExcel = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" & strWDir & ";Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0; HDR=Yes;"""

to this:
strConnectionExcel = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" & strWDir & ";Extended Properties=""Excel 12.0; HDR=Yes;"""

Have you tried using an xlsx file instead?

Also try writing the full path in one line like

Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=c:\TestWorkbook.xlsx;Extended Properties="Excel 12.0;HDR=YES;"

Tried that and that too did not work. I am currently looking at the drivers that both computers have.

Well I got the Microsoft Drivers to be the same on both boxes, but I am still getting the ISAM error when I try to run this through a web server browser versus my local box.

set conExcel = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
strConnExcel = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=//mefspr01/groups/everyone/acct/AMS Working/Automation_Commission.xlsx;Extended Properties=""Excel 12.0; HDR=Yes;"""
conExcel.Open strConnExcel

Can you try mapping a drive?

Man this stinks!!! Still doesn't work. I am about to see if I can switch to csv vs xls.

set conExcel = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
strConnExcel = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=I:\Everyone\Acct\AMS Working\Automation_Commission.xls;Extended Properties=""Excel 12.0; HDR=Yes;"""
conExcel.Open strConnExcel
