Install the following to resolve your error.

2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components

AccessDatabaseEngine.exe (25.3 MB)

This download will install a set of components that facilitate the transfer of data between existing Microsoft Office files such as Microsoft Office Access 2007 (*.mdb and .accdb) files and Microsoft Office Excel 2007 (.xls, *.xlsx, and *.xlsb) files to other data sources such as Microsoft SQL Server.
