Could not create a connection for the provider invariant name. Verify that this provider is

Hi all,

While working on the Integration Services project.

When I try to create a new Data Connection in Connection Managers for ADO .NET SAP Provider, it gives the following exception:

TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio

Could not set the connection qualifier for the current connection.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Could not create a connection for the provider invariant name 'Microsoft.Adapters.SAP.SAPProvider'. Verify that this provider is installed correctly on this computer. (Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.Design)

For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft%u00ae+Visual+Studio%u00ae+2005&ProdVer=8.0.50727.42&EvtSrc=Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.Design.SR&EvtID=CouldNotCreateConnection&LinkId=20476

Object reference not set to an instance of an object. (Microsoft.Adapters.SAP.SAPProvider)

BUTTONS:

OK

Can anyone describe, what is the resolution for the same.

Have you tried reinstalling the SAP Provider? The error is pretty much saying it cannot find the provider.
