The Excel Connection Manager is not supported in the 64-bit version of SSIS, as no OLE DB provider is available.
YES, I've already checked the 'run in 32 bit mode' in SQL job agent.
My BIDS is in 2008, my SQL server that hosts the sql job agent is 10.0.5512, the OLE DB connection is going to a 2012 sql server.
Trying to output to excel 2007, any ideas. Trying to avoid using a script task to just custom code the whole thing, then kinda defeats the purpose of claiming the ssis package is 'superior' in reliability to my old custom vb code.
