Can't add Excel reader

I’m using the Data Interoperability extension in ArcGIS Pro.  I can’t seem to get a excel reader to add in.  I’ll set the parameters, it’s not open anywhere else, it’s not password protected or anything like that, and it’s on my local system.  

 

When I click ok to add it, fme acts like it’s trying to add it, but then just sits there and spins until it eventually times out.  

 

What am I doing wrong?  I haven’t used FME in about 7 years or so, but I used it extensively prior to that and never had this sort of issue.

Have you tried adding a different xlsx file just to test it? Or perhaps try using a FeatureReader.

Thanks for the response!  I forgot to update this as “solved”.  It turned out to be a problem with the app itself.  Once I restarted I could add any reader I wanted.  

 

Thanks for taking the time to reach out.
