I get the exception below only on selecting the Microsoft Excel drivers to import data from an Excel sheet on the ‘Chose a Data Source’ screen. This subsequently prevents an Excel data import.

An error occurred which the SQL Server Integration Services Wizard was not prepared to handle.

I’ve re-installed MDAC 2.8 but it hasn’t solved the problem on my PC.

What is the cause and solution for this error?"
