need help troubleshooting an error I am getting when opening an Excel spreadsheet from my WPF application

Hello Experts,
I need help troubleshooting an error I am getting in my WPF.Net application with C#.Net code-behind.

The error I get has to do with the OLEDB connection I am using to try to access and read an Excel (.xlsx) spreadsheet from my application (see error below):

ERROR I AM GETTING:
The 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine.

Here is the code I use to try to access and read the Excel spreadsheet from within my application:

        OleDbConnection conProds;
        conProds = new OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + "C:\\Users\\gizmo\\Documents\\RR\\ISDQuoter\\Products.xlsx" + ";"); 
       conProds.Open();

Select allOpen in new window

Please let me know how to fix this issue.

Thank you,
