The issue "Extension Mendix.DataImporter.Extension failed with an exception" pertains to the recent connector released by the platform connectors team, developed utilizing the extensibility API.

Problem is Studio Pro not being able to load the data importer extension.

Potential solutions:

1. Review Studio Pro logs for comprehensive insights and reach out to support for assistance.

2. Experiment with alternative versions of Studio Pro as this issue occurs due to issues with data importer extension binaries packaged within studio pro installer (refer binaries under SP folder> \modeler\extensions\dataimporter folder)

3. While there are some makeshift solutions available, it's advisable to explore the aforementioned options initially.

It is referring to the Data Importer Module. Maybe there is a file conflict? You could check the userlib directory for outdated jar files (if you find the same file with a different version like checker-qual-2.5.2.jar and checker-qual-3.8.0.jar, you might want to remove the older version. Make sure to create a copy of the entire userlib directory before removing files so you have a backup in case you remove a file by mistake)

Did you use TortoiseGit to check for any errors? You could try to import (and overwrite the module).

This issue is known issue and when SP launched Data Importer extension is not loaded. This will be fixed in SP 10.8.0 Release
