Altium Insert .epw files

Hi,
I wanted to insert the symbol and footprint from the "USB4216-03-A" USB type-C connector. At the downloaded files (from samacsys) on the Altium folder there was only a "USB4216-03-A.epw" file, so I downloaded the EPW program but this didn't work woth Microsoft Excel 64bit (only with 32 bit). Then I tried to insert it witn Altium "File -> Import Wizard" but I didn't find an option to support epw files. Finally, I used the Import Wizard and I imported the eagle files from samacsys folder files and it worked fine.
My question is if there is a way to import ".epw" files directly to altium or if there is another program like EPW program where converts the ".epw" files to altium files?

I found a "solution" about the EPW software. There was an option on installation window about 64bit where I missed.
