Getting the error: Microsoft Access can't find the wizard. etc...

Occurs when: Using the Import from Excel feature

I have checked the Add/Remove Features and Access is completely installed, not sure what is missing?

    Unfortunately, this issue is still open...  no solution yet.

    I have the same issue and none of the suggested solutions work.   I have the RTM version of Access 2010.  I have just installed it on several machines. I got the same result with importing a text file.  Im installing all features.  Thanks for your help.

    Hi All,

    Just wanted to follow up on this thread to let everyone know that we resolved a similar issue today by renaming the VBA7 folder under "C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\VBA" and repairing Office 2010.

    There was another instance where a customer was running a beta version of Access 2010 and once he uninstalled and reinstalled the released version (any version lower than 14.0.4760.1000 is beta), the error went away.

    Hope this helps!

    Kathy

    Yes I tried that too.  

    I just removed Access 2010, then went into registry and deleted all (most?) references to Access.  Reinstalled and it now works... so far.  I dont know for sure which one it was, but there was an entry with wizard items.  Maybe thats the only one needed to delete?

    Kathy,

    I thought the wizards are in a Trusted Location by default, is that not true?
