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?

    I'm getting the same error, and have tried all but one of the solutions mentioned; that is doing a stand alone install of Access.  BTW - I did a clean install of Windows 7 and Office 2010 Pro Plus.  The wizardss and links worked in Office 2007, operating with Windows 7; if i can't resolve this, I'm going to revert back to Office 2007.

    There is a way to install Office without Access by doing a custom install and deselecting Access.  Then one can go back and do a separate install of Access.  I'm going to give it a try.  I also have initiated a tech support request with Microsoft on this.

    Actually, thanks for the help but don't need it.

    Renaming the VBA7 folder did the trick to me. I repaired, rebooted and it did work finally. I was going nuts over that.

    As soon as I launched Access after the repair, it asked to install 'something' related to VBA and it even installed my language pack for the add-in too automatically.

    No...

    Can you please tell us which *fixes* you have tried so we can eliminate those and see what your other options might be?

    I do have the same problem....nothing...did all the tricks, I browsed all websites and it appears many are having similar issues.

    Is there any way to have the wizard installer as a standalone ?

    Thanks.
