Windows 10, SQLServer Express (2019), Excel 2016 import to SQLServer error Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0’ provider is not registered on the local machine Environment:

Workstation: 16GB RAM. 500MB SSD

Windows 10 Pro (64-bit)

Microsoft Office 2010? 2016? (Home/Student?) Not sure how to tell exactly. Office reports the version as 18.2005.1191.0 ; Excel 2016

SQL Server 2019 (Express Edition) Just installed 2 weeks ago.


Not available on workstation (though some supporting libraries may be present, e.g. .NET framework 3.5 &amp;&amp; 4.8 for Windows 10):

Visual Studio

C# compiler


etc.
Task:

Import a USA-state-government-supplied .csv (converted by me to an Excel spreadsheet) into SQLServer.

The spreadsheet ~20 columns and ~500K rows of data to be imported into 1 fairly simple SQL Server table. No stored procedures. No constraints, 1 Primary (Identity) Key.
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio query windows limits an insert statement to 1,000 records/rows at a time. I did load 2,000 rows successfully. I do not want to break the Excel spreadsheet into 500 pieces to load the entire data set. So, I thought it would be best to use the database Import and Export Wizard to load the spreadsheet.
Error/roadblock (steps to reproduce):

Within Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio,

I select the database.

I select Tasks &gt; Import Data ...

I follow the wizard's prompts, selecting Data Source -&gt; Microsoft Excel; Excel file path (path to local spreadsheet file); Excel version -&gt; Microsoft Excel 97-2003 (or Microsoft Excel 2007-2010 or Microsoft Excel 2013 or Excel 2016); First row has column names; Next



An error is displayed:

TITLE: SQL Server Import and Export Wizard
The operation could not be completed.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine. (System.Data)



How can I fix this?
Additional info:

ODBC Data Source Administrator (64-bit) Drivers tab has entries for

Microsoft Excel Driver 16.00.4513.1000 (ACEODBC.DLL)

SQL Server 10.00.18362.01 (SQLSVRV32.DLL)



ODBC Data Source Administrator (32-bit) Drivers tab has entries  for

Microsoft Excel Driver 10.00.18362.01 (ODBCJT32.DLL)

SQL Server 10.00.18362.01 (SQLSVRV32.DLL)




Finally:
I saw this: https://datasavvy.me/2017/07/20/installing-the-microsoft-ace-oledb-12-0-provider-for-both-64-bit-and-32-bit-processing/
I tried the steps for Option B, but they did not change my outcome.
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio launched the 32-bit version of the import wizard.
I found the 64-bit version of the import wizard already installed as a standalone App. Launching that standalone App worked.
