ODBC ERROR: Driver could not be loaded due to System Error 126

Hi,
 
I installed a 64-bit PowerBI Desktop on my Windows 7 64-bit machine. Then, I installed a 64-bit Data Direct ODBC Driver to connect to my MongoDB data sources in PowerBI. 
 
The test connection for the ODBC driver was successful but I'm unable to connect to the data in PowerBI Desktop. I tried to connect to the data sources through the ODBC driver on a different BI tool, which is Tableau, and the connection was successful. But, in PowerBI it keeps throwing me an error showing "ODBC: ERROR [IM003] Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error 126: The specified module could not be found.". Please find the screenshot of the error message below.
 
I would appreciate if you could guide me on how to proceed from here and resolve this issue.
 
Thank you.

I have the same problem in app.powerbi.com. Not impressed, given it's a builtin connector. 😠.
