Application throws an error when launched from task scheduler

Question

I have a custom application which uses Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application to open and save excel file. I have a batch which fires the app with all the required parameter

Answer 1

I have found a solution here http://justgeeks.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/troubleshooting-microsoft-excel-cannot.html

the trick is you have to craete this folder:

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop

I must admit I do not quite understand why this folder is required for excel to open files when launched by task scheduler but it works.
