The preferred method for exporting from Window is to generate a "Report" for a specific window and select Report Type "EnergyPlus IDF File". See the EnergyPlus Tips and Tricks document section titled "Getting data from WINDOW program". This generates idf objects which can be pasted directly into the idf file.
That said, the old Window5 data file should still work. Please post a link here to the problem files (idf and window5 data file) or attach to an email to the EnergyPlus helpdesk at energyplus-support@gard.com Example file 1ZoneUncontrolled_win_1.idf uses Construction:WindowDataFile with \datasets\Window5DataFile.dat, but that file was generated long ago, not from a current version of Window.
