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?

    Seeing as this is an issue on three separate installs of Access, I'm sure more people be running into the issue.

    I amstumped because when all else fails renaming and restoring the wizards normally helps...  Not sure what the next step would be...

    Just as an added note, this seems to be an Access 2010 issue. I have tested this on three different computers with Access 2010 and they all throw the same error.

    1. Renamed ACCWIZ folder
    2. Renamed ACCWIZ.DLL
    3. Repair
    4. Confirmed that ACCWIZ folder and ACCWIZ.DLL were reinstalled

    And no luck, same error as before.

    Well, it definitely sounds like your wozards are corrupt...  This is UNTESTED...

    1. Navigate to foler Program Files (for Windows 7 64 bit it's Program Files (x96)
    2. Then folder that holds Microsoft Office 2010 (or what ever you named it)

    3.  Then Office 14 - ACCWIZ

    4.  Change the extensions to .OLD

    5.  Repair/Reinstall Office making sure you have those optons seleccted

    6.  Try again
