Missing Microsoft Excel as option in SQL Server data import tool

I now notice that when I start Start->Program Files->Microsoft SQL Server 2012->Import and Export Data (64-bit) the MS Excel file option is missing from the data source dropdown.

and I tried installing Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable (64-bit) from the link below, but with no luck to solve the trouble
