Importing .bacpac fails on 'Importing Database'

I am trying to import a .bacpac file into my SQL Server 2016 Express database, however it's failing on the Importing Database step. Has anyone seen this before? Are there any common causes for it to fail at this step?

Whenever I've run into this problem, it's been because the .bacpac came from a different version of SQL Server than I was running. Last time it was because the backup came from SQL Server 2016 and I was running 2014. Upgraded to 2016 and the backup imported just fine.
