Datasmith import problem - unknown extension "udatasmith"

I have installed v0.17 into UE4.18.2 along with the exporter for 3DS Max 2017.

Exporting a model from 3DS Max 2017 gives no error messages, however when I try to “import into level” I receive an error message stating Failed to import ‘[file name].udatasmith’ Unknown extension ‘udatasmith’
