I installed the Microsoft Access database engine 2016 - quiet install (determined had click-to-run 64bit) - downloaded the 64bit driver - it appears in Apps & features. Restarted ArcPro 2.8.1. Reconnected folder with excel table - the error message still appears.
Did you execute the installation process using Command Prompt (Silent Install)?
Here is a nice blog to guide you through the process Guide to connecting to Excel files in ArcGIS Pro
