Datasheet view doesn't work for me, I have Office 2010 x64 installed

If you have run into this problem like me, you probably get an error similar to the one below:

Text:

The list cannot be displayed in Datasheet view for one or more of the following reasons:

- A datasheet component compatible with Microsoft SharePoint

Foundation is not installed.

- Your Web browser does not support ActiveX controls.

- A component is not properly configured for 32-bit or 64-bit support.

 

To fix this, simply download this install the 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components to enable the Datasheet component. These components are available from the Microsoft download center:
