Excel not installed issue

[Pankit]

Hi,

I am working on 64-bit machine and 32-bit Office is installed in the system.

I am able to open the excel and outlook but when the robot is trying to open Excel from Studio, I am getting an Error . I have checked the registry but that hasnt solved the issue.
