I have office 365 installed in my machine with win64. Excel Application Scope activity is not able to interact with MS Excel from UiPath Studio.
When I run the the Excel Application Scope activity in uipath studio, I get ‘Excel Application Scope: Error opening workbook. Make sure Excel is installed.’

If there is any solution to fix that issue, please let me know.

I tried all the flollowings:
a) I reinstalled office 365 again.
b) I reinstalled uiPath Studio.
c) I’ve made sure that in registryEdit there is no win32 key present.

Following is the full error exception:
RemoteException wrapping System.Exception: Error opening workbook. Make sure Excel is installed. —> RemoteException wrapping System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast COM object of type ‘Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.ApplicationClass’ to interface type ‘Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel._Application’.

@Md_Choudhury,

I would suggest to give a try with Excel workbook activities for work around till you get fix for this.

Happy automation:)
