Note: I am running SQL 2016 Developer 64bit, Office 2016 64bit.

I had the same issue and solved it by downloading the following:

  1. Download and install this: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=54920

  2. Whatever file you are trying to access/import, make sure you select it as a Office 2010 file (even though it might be a Office 2016 file).

It works.
