Answer from MS Employee:

There is no 64-bit VFP OleDB provider. That is why we can't import data from VFP to a 64-bit SQL Server. The workaround in the link you provided won't work too, as it is using the VFP provider too. This can't work in 64bit SQL Server.

In order to work around the issue, we can firstly install a 32-bit SQL Server, import the data from VFP to this 32-bit SQL Server, and then synchronize the data from the 32-bit SQL Server to the 64-bit SQL Server.
This workaround is available too in other scenarios that there is no 64-bit provider and we are using 64-bit SQL Server.

If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
