Interop.Word Documents.Open is null


If you are still looking for the answer I have found it just a moment ago for my project.

Open DCOM Config Settings:

  1. Start -> dcomcnfg.exe
  2. Computer
  3. Local Computer
  4. Config DCOM
  5. Search for Microsoft Word 97-2003 Documents -> Properties

Tab Identity, change from Launching User to Interactive User


Try this it may help you.

  • Create a new "Desktop" directory inside of "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\"

it works for me after a long long long day searching for the solution.

It seams to be a profile problem.


I did the following steps and it worked all right:

  • Create the desktop folder
  • Change the DCOM element to login with a specific user instead of an launching/interactive user
  • Changed the service so it started as the same specific user

Edit on 2019-09-29.Due to a big windows update I had to do the exact progress all over again.
