Address Coder Unable to Access Groups.mdb

I have been unsuccessful in installing and using Address Coder.

I installed ArcGIS 10.6.1 Desktop and ArcGIS 10.6.1 Background GP using default options.

I installed Business Analyst with 2017 US Data and Business Analyst Background GP using default options.

I downloaded the 60GB ZIP files for 2017 US Data and unpacked the first ZIP in order to access the install EXE.

I used the EXE to install the 2017 US Data. This took a couple hours. Windows 10 did stall at one point, asking me to "Retry or Cancel." Upon clicking "Retry" the install appeared to continue, copying and moving files. The licensing app appeared and I directed the app to my SDLIC file. 

I launched Address Coder. A number of licensing errors appeared, which appears to be normal until Address Coder is licensed. I directed Address Coder to its license file after the app loaded.

When I launch Address Coder the app tosses the errors as indicated in the attached images:

"Address Coder was unable to access C:\ArcGIS\Business Analyst\US_2017\Address Coder\groups.mdb.

"Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed."

Also, this:

"Unable to open coder.mdb. Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed."

The install was accomplished using an administrator account. The paths indicated are correct and "groups.mdb" does exist.

Not sure what I am missing or have done wrong.

In case anyone runs across this thread with the Address Coder issue as of Business Analyst 10.7 software the groups.mdb and the coder.mdb are no longer used by Address Coder.

Cheers,
