OLE DB Driver 19.3 for SQL Server Released

DavidEngelMS Thank you for your prompt response, much appreciated 🙂 

PuruMG If no apps are using the 18.3 version of the OLE DB driver, yes, you can uninstall it. If apps are still using it (like SQL Server 2019 or SQL Server 2022 or something else), you should leave it installed.

Regards,

David

Thank you DavidEngelMS for your prompt response. Much appreciated. 

I have one additional question.

 I have installed two Version of Microsoft OLE DB Version in the same machine.

One version installed is:  Microsoft OLE DB Drive 19 for SQL Server, Version 19.0.0.0

One version installed is: Microsoft OLE DB Drive for SQL Server, Version 18.3.0.0

I find redundant of having "Microsoft OLE DB Drive for SQL Server, Version 18.3.0.0" Could I proceed to uninstall? 

Please suggest. 
Thank you!

If you only installed the x64 redist package, you also need to install the x86 one. You must install both the x86 and x64 versions of the C++ redistributable package because the x64 OLE DB installer installs both x64 and x86 DLLs. (x86 DLLs are for compatibility with x86 apps running on x64.)

Hello, 
After upgrading "Microsoft visual c++ 2015-2022 Redistributable (x64)-14.36.32532" but  I keep getting the error while I am upgrading "Microsoft OLE DB Driver 19 for SQL Server Version 19.3 ". 

I tried rebooting Mutiple times but still same error. 

Is this because I had already installed?  Two Version of Microsoft OLE DB Version in the same machine?
One version installed is:  Microsoft OLE DB Drive 19 for SQL Server, Version 19.0.0.0

One version installed is: Microsoft OLE DB Drive for SQL Server, Version 18.3.0.0

If Uninstalling Microsoft OLE DB Drive for SQL Server, Version 18.3.0.0 should works? 

Please suggest. 
Thank you!

The change in C++ Redistributable needs to be added to the Release Notes for 19.3 (and presumably higher) and possibly mentioned on the Known Issues for 19.  By default one would assume 19.x would have the same dependencies until it changed to 20.x or was in some way called out.

Have installed 'Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2022' but keep getting an error telling me to install it from the OLE DB 19.3 installer. Have tried rebooting/repairing. 

Update: have installed this on multiple machines, turns out some required both the x64 and x86 versions of 'Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2022' before x64 OLE DB driver would install.
