Contridictory Error Messages Installing Microsoft Access Database Engine 2016

Question

I have a server that has Microsoft Access Database Engine (2010) installed. We use this library in C# to process really large files (read), the other libraries mentioned below don't work (they run out of memory or thing of that nature), we have all applicable licenses (internal application), a bunch of existing code already uses this method.

I would like to update this library to the latest version, I downloaded the latest Access Database Engine (ACE) from Microsoft. When I try to install it, I encounter the following issue:

You cannot install the 64-bit version of Microsoft Access Database Engine 2016 because you currently have 32-bit Office products installed. If you want to install the 64-bit Microsoft Access Database Engine 2016, you will first need to remove the 32-bit installation of Office products

I tried the other version of it (x86):

You cannot install the 32-bit version of Microsoft Access Database Engine 2016 because you currently have 64-bit Office products installed. If you want to install the 32-bit Microsoft Access Database Engine 2016, you will first need to remove the 64-bit installation of Office products

Below is the server configuration:

Operating system: Windows (Windows Server 2022 Datacenter Azure Edition) x64

I have tried uninstalling 2010, and then attempting to install 2016 alone, that didn't work, same error message. I tried to install the latest version of office 365 latest version x64, then attempted to install this again, same error.

The error messages are contradictory, how can I have both x86 and x64 installed at the same time and not be allowed to install either one, it doesn't really make any sense? How can I successfully install the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2016 x64 without running into these issues?
