Hi,

It seems to be a problem of UsePowerpoint Presentation activity, not Add Image/Video to slide activity.
Can you check whether error occurs without Add Image/Video to slide activity?

Regards,

Hi,
Yes,you are right.Though I disable the "Add Image/Video to slide "activity,it throws teh same exception.

@maxzz - Please check this post and Download the xaml. Where I have added image to a PPT.

I have added the xaml here: Advent_Regex.zip (715.2 KB)

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Thank you for checking.
For now, can you try to run Repair tool for Office Interop in tool menu as the following image?
