Has anyone ever encountered this error when trying to use an excel file as a template in the excel writer?

I've had a new machine since the last time I tried to use a template in a writer and wondering if something is missing, just not sure what that's likely to be...

(FME 2018.1.0.2 (Build 18547 - WIN32))

Hi @egomm

I was able to reproduce the behaviour you are seeing in FME 2018.1 builds. The error occurs attempting to select a template sheet via the file browser button.

As a workaround, please type in the template sheet name instead of selecting interactively via the dialog window. Alternatively, FME 2018.0 builds (18284-18312) appear to not be affected.

I have filed a PR for this issue and will be following up in this thread when it has been resolved. My apologies for any inconvenience caused.
