Access wizard missing, no disabled add-ins

When I try to import an Excel file to a table I get this message:Image

When I follow the instructions and check disabled add-ins there is nothing there. In fact, there is nothing in any of the add-in sections, enabled or disabled. Is there a way to figure out what the necessary wizard is and if it can be downloaded separately?

Probably the quickest way to attack the problem is repair your Office installation. If that fails to restore the wizard, a full reinstallation might work, as the error message itself suggests. "Rerun Microsoft Access or Microsoft Office Setup program...."

I've also resolve certain wizard errors by running the msaccess.exe as Administrator and then launching them and or adding the wizard folder manually to the Trusted Locations.

That said, start with what George suggested, an Office Repair, and see if that doesn't resolve things.

If you do need to perform a complete reinstallation, I've also had to do that numerous times, be sure to use Option 2 from https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/uninstall-office-from-a-pc-9dd49b83-264a-477a-8fcc-2fdf5dbf61d8 and then perform a fresh installation.

Best of luck to you.

I was hoping to avoid a full reinstall, but it's looking like it must be the case. Thank you two!
