How do I access the full text of an error in SSIS GUI?

Question

I have an Excel task which is providing error text through the GUI, but I don't know how to access the error task without the GUI and the error disappears if I move the cursor from the X

enter image description here

I have the project property Run64BitRuntime set to False (though it is not editable so even if I wanted to, couldn't change it to true)

• Thronk: By the way, installing the accessDatabaseEngine resolved the issue. While most people reporting this had 32bit office installed with no 64bit driver, I had 64bit installed with no 32 bit driver. The Run64BitRuntime=Falso was causing SSIS to run the 32 bit office driver which was not installed.

Design-time errors, warnings, and informational messages show up in the Error List pane, which can be shown by going to View | Error List.

• APC: I was really hoping this would solve my problem but alas... The Error List is empty even though I have a task with an Error emblem and the leading half of an error message in a tooltip
• Marc Sigrist: @APC, more than a year after your comment, I can confirm that design-time error messages are still not shown in the error list in the latest versions of the tools (Visual Studio Professional 2019 v 16.3.7 with extension SQL Server Integration Services Projects v 3.9.
