XLSB format - class not registered error

Hi all, 

 

Bit of a weird and hopefully simple one. Have been attempting to add an xlsb file as a data input (and repeated when trying an output) in Designer 2024.1.1.93 and getting this issue:
error opening connect string: can't create data source object - class not registered

 

Is there an easy way to resolve this as it is a common file format used in my company.

 

 

Thanks

Tim

Also see below drop down of file types, it includes xlsb, so I don't think it is related to this post:

You probably still need to download the Redistributable driver: Access Driver Install for .xls File Acess - Alteryx Community
