‘Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.16.0’ provider is not registered on the local machine.

For anyone that is still stuck on this issue after trying the above. If you are right-clicking on the database and going to tasks->import, then here is the issue. Go to your start menu and under sql server, find the x64 bit import export wizard and try that. Worked like a charm for me, but it took me FAR too long to find it Microsoft!
