'Is it possible to use 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider without installation?
I have an Excel-reading library that depends on the Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 provider - I would like a way to use it without being forced to install the Access Database Engine.
Is it possible? e.g. xcopy deploy + clever COM trickery.

Sorry not enough point to comment
But from my understanding in your question, the short answer is No. It's like you want to have a house but you don't to build it on the solid surface.
Perhaps you can explain why you can't install Access Database Engine and what you are trying to achieve in detail so we can get a work around in this instead
