Windows 64bit scripting host forced into 32bit

Error: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
Code: 80004005

Using Windows Script Host (WSH, CScript, VBS) to access Microsoft Access database files will bring this error up in 64 bit Windows. You need to force your script to run in 32 bit mode. The following code attached to the top of your script should detect if you are in a 64 bit Windows OS and will attempt to run the 32 bit cscript.
(Update 2014-02-28: Aborts when there are spaces in the path, added quotes to fix this) (Update 2016-01-28: fix for 64bit office vs 32bit office)
