I had the same problem as santosh.
I imported the namespace Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel into the workfow, but still this error when executing this line :

Dim appXL As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application

Error is :
Main has thrown an exception

Source: Invoke code
Message: Error compiling code
error BC30002: Type ‘Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application’ is not defined. At line 11
Exception Type: ArgumentException
