Fail to open xlsx table

Question

I'm failing to open an excel file to Arc Map. I get the error message "essage Failed to connect to database. Underlying database error occurred. Class not registered.". I also tried w really simple xlsx table - field names correct etc. I have installed Office 2016, ArcGIS 10.3 and have operative system Windows 8.1.

Any help much appreciated / Ingela

Note - the Microsoft Office Access database engine 2007 (English) v12.0.4518 is the package you want and it is now located at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=23734.
