Transfer data from Excel to SQL Server using SSIS

Problem statement: To transfer data from Excel to SQL Server.

I have a 64 bit system and 64 bit Microsoft Excel Installed. To make Excel Connection Manager work, I downloaded AccessDatabaseEngine.exe from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13255. I tried to see if it works with AccessDatabaseEngine_X64.exe and it didn't, so I just installed AccessDatabaseEngine.exe as you cannot install both apparently. In that way I was able to match columns and do things as required.

Then when I ran the project it throws errors as following-

I tried to see many videos on Youtube and went through some blogs. But I am unable to understand the situation here. What could be missing here?
