COM class factory 80040154 server error - c#

I wasn't getting this error before on localhost, but now it's occurring when I uploaded my ASP.NET C# web app to the server. I've been looking for an answer how to fix this, but cannot seem to get rid of it. I have a Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel DLL which I am trying to use to export data from a dataset to excel. I was told by customer service that the domain that I have registered is hosted on a 32-bit server. Please help!

There a guy describing step by step how to solve you problem here


If the other solution doesn't work try adding the following to the web.config after
<identity impersonate="true" userName="******" password="*******"/>
Replacing the * with a valid Windows username and password that would have access to Excel.
Make sure you login as the identity you are impersonating so you can verify that it has access to Excel (Office 2010 tends to want to reactivate Office for each user I've noticed).

Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {...} failed due to the following error: 80070005 Access is denied

I'm using https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-msoffice-pdf to convert a word to a pdf. This solution works perfectly on my computer.
I updated my app in IIS and I get this error when calling the web service that converts the docx to pdf:
Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {000209FF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} failed due to the following error: 80070005 Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED)).
I have tried several answers and tutorials step by step such as:
Accessing Office Word object model through asp.net results in "failed due to the following error: 80070005 Access is denied."

https://waheedrous.wordpress.com/2014/01/26/error-office-interop-assemblies
But I got to nowhere.
I also tried to run my app in the server but as localhost and it worked perfectly, zero problems.
I noticed that the CLSID in the error message it isn't the same as the Microsoft Word 97 - 2003 Document Component Service App ID.
The only tutorial that got me somewhere is this one http://toastergremlin.com/?p=543. The error was gone but the Word wasn't being opened and the web service just got stuck.
In the Microsoft Word 97 - 2003 Document Component Service I tried to add the following users: NETWORK_SERVICE, IIS_IUSRS, PC\Users and the apppool associated with my website.

I had similar issue when trying to create my own Interop DLL thru IIS web. And after lot of searches, this post solved my life

Error E_ACCESSDENIED in C# Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel()

I have created a windows service that repetitively updates the same excel file. While running the Windows Service, I am receiving the following Error:
Error Message Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {00024500-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} failed due to the following error: 80070005 Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED)).
This error is thrown at the following line of code:
ExcelApp = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application();
Is there a work-around for this ?
I followed the steps mentioned in the following SO link but that didn't helped me overcome these error. I tried solution from few other questions as well and none of them worked for me.

Exceptions from Excel API after downgrading from 2013 to 2010

After downgrading from Excel 2013 to 2010 (i.e. removing 2013 and installing 2010) when I try to access the Excel OM from my add-in like this:
if (this.Application.ActiveWorkbook == null)
{
return;
}
I get the following Exception:
Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface
type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel._Application'. This operation
failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the
interface with IID '{000208D5-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}' failed due
to the following error: Library not registered. (Exception from
HRESULT: 0x8002801D (TYPE_E_LIBNOTREGISTERED)).
I have taken the following steps to resolve the issue but none have worked:
Repaired the office installation
Uninstalled and reinstalled
Cleared out all office 15 references from the registry
Re-registered Excel ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\excel.exe" /o)
However, nothing seems to work. Is there something I'm missing or do I actually have to wipe the machine?
EDIT:
My guess is that there is still come conflict in the registry but I have no idea where...
Thanks in adv!

Found the solution - I forgot to remove one reference to Excel 2013:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib{00020813-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\1.8
After removing 1.8 my corrected registry looks like this:

uploading excel file in c# .net web application result in error

my .net web application has a option of uploading a excel file, which has around 1k entries of products, the upload works fine when i run the application on localhost, but results in the following error when it is hosted on iis7 & accessed by some other computer on the network..
error

I googld it, and found some talking about 32-bit or 64-bit OS.
Thanks.

You should avoid using Excel Interop in a server application for the reasons described in this KB article.
Instead, consider using a third-party product to manipulate the Excel document, such as EPPlus (Excel 2007+), Aspose Cells, SpreadsheetGear.
Probably your ASP.NET app is running under an account that doesn't have a profile.

Ensure the upload folder is given full permission so as to upload from other computers. First start by giving permission to EVERYONE. Then you may restrict it to IIS user only.

Sounds to me that when your implementing your application on the server, something isn't getting installed that your using on your development machine. Whatever your using to upload, if it is a third party upload control or something, you might not be distributing that file.
Another possibility is, that the server your installing your application on is a 64 bit machine, and the upload control your using is built for 32 bit only. You might want to set the server to 32 bit for IIS 7.
