Aiharkness suggested a link to fix the problem with LINK loading.
"BlackBerry Link has stopped working" after updating to iTunes 12.5
I did try the suggestion and it did not work. I then tried deleting the entire iTunesPrefs.xml file and that seems to have allowed LINK to load. It did revert back to a failure once ITunes did an auto update but again deleting the file allows the LINK program to work.
