I have a workflow that runs perfect in studio. I deployed the workflow as a cloud bot. When it tries to run, I get the below error. The program runs fine on both my local machine and the VM when run from studio. But when triggered from orchestrator I run into this error. I am using office 365.

“Use Excel File: Error opening workbook. If Excel is installed, run the ‘Repair Tool for Microsoft Office Interop’ from the Tools tab on the Home screen.”

I’ve tried the following so far:
1 - Remove the MS-Office and re-install it
2 - Check the regedit keys for 64 bits and remove 32 bits

Hi @Vinny_LaRocca

Can you try with workbook activities.

I could, but that would require some major overhaul. Also, I am using PowerPoint too and suspect I will run into the same issue.

Yes, excel was always installed. I also tried to reinstall a few times as well as deleting the VM all together and setting it up again.
