During installation, got "Error configuring ODBC data source"

During the installation of the LIBPF desktop application on 64-bit Windows, you might receive this error: “Error configuring ODBC data source" persistency, ODBC error 6: component not found in the system registry… verify that the file persistency exists and that you can access it.

Please see the LIBPF™ Windows Installation manual where it says:

For 64-bit Windows systems where Microsoft Office is not present, it is required to pre-install the additional component “Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable” available from this link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=54920

If this requirement is not fulfilled the installer will stop with the error: Error configuring ODBC data source: persistency, ODBC error 6: component not found in the system registry… verify that the file persistency exists and that you can access it."
