DIXF - The version of Microsoft Excel is not supported.

Posted on by 170

The DIXF stopped to work on all server, I believe was some Windows Update (maybe on SQL Server 2016). Now is showing the error "The version of Microsoft Excel is not supported."

How can I fix it?

AccessDatabaseEngine_X64 is installed.

    Thank you for this quick reply.

    In the client case, the error started to appear after an upgrade done on the SQL Server where the DIXF service was running.

    The final solution in my case was restarting the DIXF service. After this action the CSV/TXT files can be imported succesfully in the AX environment.

    There was no need to change or disable the TLS protocol.

    Hi Tendor, the issue was in TLS Protocol. The IT disabled the TLS 1.2 and I needed to request to enabled again. After I installed an update to DIXF works with TLS 2.0.

    Hi Ajit,

    I did, but I got the same error message. I opened a Microsoft Support Request, but the Microsoft Engineer do not solved yet. I sent a lot information and I'm waiting the solution. When I received the solution, I will update here.

    Is this for Import or export or both? If you not resolved it yet, can you save your excel as 97-2003 workbook and try?

    Do not have nothing related with AX in Event Viewer.

    Hi Rafael,

    Go to Windows Event Viewer and check for more error details.

    Hello Rafael,

    Do you still receive the same error message after the reinstall or another one?

    Best regards,

    Hi Ludwig,

    I have reinstalled the Access engine 2010 using the passive command. About the ODBC, we need to use the file (CSV).
