It's a known issue... Work around is as follows:

This is a known issue that have been escalated to development few months ago, and it is documented under:

KBA 3321472 - MS ODBC Data Source Administrator (64-bit) crash, when creating an ODBC DSN using the CR TextFile ODBC Driver, and clicking on the button "Define"

Workaround:

- Use the ODBC Driver: Microsoft Access Text Driver, to connect to a Text File

To download the Microsoft Access Database Engine go to the Microsoft website: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13255

Thanks for reporting it.

Not sure when a fix will be provided, waiting for R&D to respond.

Note: this may be an issue in the Data Direct clients which is why this has not been fixed yet, SAP has no control when they provide fixes...
