Importing to database \’AxDBCopy4\’ on server \’localhost\’.
*** Error importing database:Could not load package from \’D:Exportedbacpactmctestbackup.bacpac\’.

Solution:

Go to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/tools/sqlpackage-download?view=sql-server-ver15 
to download .NET CORE version of Sqlpackage.exe.  This is a .zip file that can be extracted to C:TempSqlpackage-dotnetcore.

From there, instead of using the Sqlpackage.exe under C:Program Files (x86), please can you use the Sqlpackage.exe in C:TempSqlpackage-dotnetcore.

Happy DBing!
