Solution #3:
On 64bit Windows 2008 system, create a new "Desktop" directory inside of "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\", creating this directory and rebooting server, then doc2any works, it seems to be a profile problem.
This solution is ...
Windows 2008 Server x64, please make this folder.
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop
Windows 2008 Server x86, please make this folder.
C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\Desktop
...instead of dcomcnfg.exe.
This operation took away office automation problems in my system.
A Desktop folder seems to be necessary in the systemprofile folder to open file by MS Office.
It disappears from Windows2008, Windows2003 had the folder, and I think it cause this error.
We hoping above solutions will helpful to you, please give them a try.
