    Automation Excel : Error 800A03EC

    Hello,

    I want to move an application, that is using an object automation Excel, from a server 2003 (32 bits) to a server 2012 (34 bits).
    The application is working well on the server 2003 but on the server 2012, after calling the procedure below :
    MyObject = allouer an object Automation "Excel.Application"
    MyObject >>Workbooks>>Open( MonFichierXLS )

    I get an error message : 'Error 800A03EC : ....'

    Any help would be very nice !

    Thanks

    I found the solution :

    http://www.developpez.net/forums/d13...rvice-windows/

    The folder below has to exist:
    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop
    or
    C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\Desktop

    In addition to Antoine35 suggestion, after creating the Desktop folders (and assigning IUSR full permission), I had to give full permission also to C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows folder. Hope it helps!
