I am trying to convert a .xls file to an .xlsx file on the server-side using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbook
class as follows:
workBook.SaveAs("FILENAME_HERE", XlFileFormat.xlOpenXMLWorkbook, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, XlSaveAsAccessMode.xlNoChange, Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlSaveConflictResolution.xlLocalSessionChanges, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
and I get the following error:
Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {00024500-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} failed due to the following error: 80080005 Server execution failed (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80080005 (CO_E_SERVER_EXEC_FAILURE)). : System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80080005): Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {00024500-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} failed due to the following error: 80080005 Server execution failed (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80080005 (CO_E_SERVER_EXEC_FAILURE)).

The problem is that this error occurs only on the staging server; on my local machine it works fine.
Things that I have tried on the staging server:
2) Expand Component Services "->" Computer "->" My Computer "->" the DCOM configuration "
3) Find the "Microsoft Excel application."
4) Right to open the Properties dialog box
5) Clicked on the "Security" tab,
6) "Launch and Activation Permissions, configure permissions, have added permissions - Identity run under Adminstrator user (This User), Interactive User and Launching Users
7). Launch and activation permissions + Access Permissions + Configuration Permissions => added IIS_IUSRS + Network Service with Full Controll**
2. Changed the build of the project that converts the .xls file from "Any CPU" to "x86" on my local machine and published this library on the server.
Did someone figured out how to fix this problem? I am struggling on fix this issue for 2 days now.
Using DCOMCNFG.exe. Open it and go to: Component Services -> Computers -> My Computer -> DCOM Config -> Microsoft Excel Application .
Open the properties, select Identity tab and select the interactive user.
I found the solution elsewhere.
Doing the following did solve my problem:
Using DCOMCNFG.exe. Open it and go to: Component Services -> Computers -> My Computer -> DCOM Config -> Microsoft Excel Application. Open the properties, select Identity tab and select the interactive user.
BUT - the problem came back every few minutes !
After hours of trying to figure out the cause, I noticed my server had hundreds of opened WINWORD.EXE processes. This caused a memory issue which leaded to the exception from hresult 0x80080005
error.
Well, stupidly enough, I forgot to write the code to close the interop application. Once I fixed that, the error was gone.
doc.Close(false);
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(doc);
word.Quit();
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(word);
I found this article which talks more about this issue in depth If this helps, error “80080005 Server execution failed (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80080005 (CO_E_SERVER_EXEC_FAILURE))” could occur due to following reasons:
I fixed this issue with this solution: right click on Component Services/Computers/DCOM Config/Microsoft Word97 - 2003 Document properties/General Tab
set Authentication Level:None
TLDR; the fix for me is to disable AutoRecover from File -> Options -> Save, then discard all autorecovered files . It would appear it's the volume of autorecover files which is the root cause.
Background I cycle through a lot open / close /compute cycles. Periodically the C# app fails to open a workbook with the below error.
Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {00024500-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} failed due to the following error: 80080005 Server execution failed (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80080005 (CO_E_SERVER_EXEC_FAILURE)).
The app repeatedly throws this error and is stuck in this state until the AutoRecovered files are cleared from Excel.
Another symptom follows; when I try to open Excel app (as if to create a new workbook, not open an existing one), it takes a long time spinning cpu cycles. It opens eventually and there are tons of files listed in the Recovered files pane on the left.
I Close
the pane using the button, all the files are then discarded. Re-opening Excel again after this procedure is near instant. The app runs fine again from hereon.
Same problem was solved for me by "allowing desktop interaction" for the service. (in tomcat6w config tool on Log On tab)
Start -> Run (Windows+R)
Type: dcomcnfg -32 (hit enter) this should open Component Services
Expand Component Services, Computers, My Computer, DCOM Config
Scroll down to "Microsoft Excel Application"
Right Click, select properties, go to Security tab
Edit Access Permissions
Click Add
Type <Computer_Name>/IIS_IUSRS (or go to Locations, select computer name - if using domain, by default, it will search the domain and will not find IIS_IUSRS )
Make sure the check box for "Allow" is checked for "Local Access"
Click OK, Click OK again (no rebooting is necessary)
Windows Update will reset this ever single time
Try to add Thread.Sleep Method, such as Thread.Sleep(2000) for 2 seconds after workBook.open and workBook.SaveAs two methods. If your Excel file has a lot of formats, try to extend few more seconds.
