Cannot perform actions on Excel files when running as a Windows Service?

Using the Scheduler as an installed service on Windows 7 and Server 2008, you may find that actions which open and save Excel files no longer work.  In the logs, you may see errors such as:

 

Excel error 

Error communicating with Application. Please try again.

Invoke of: Open

Source: Microsoft Excel

Description: Microsoft Excel cannot access the file '...'. There are several possible reasons:

• The file name or path does not exist.

• The file is being used by another program.

• The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook.

 

In older versions of Omniscope, you might not see any errors in the log.
 
This problem is discussed in detail here:  
 
However, to fix this, while running with admin privileges, simply create these folders:
  • "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop" (if running a 64-bit operating system)
  • "C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\Desktop"  (on all systems)

Cannot find file when saving through Scheduler

You may encounter a problem when trying to save Scheduler settings with a message relating to "config.xml cannot be found". The most common cause for this is that the config.xml file is saved in a write-protected location, for example, in Program Files.

In order to fix this, you need to make sure that the config.xml file is in a non-protected location, or that Scheduler has administrative privileges. This is a limitation of Windows where non-administrative privileges application are not allowed to write to certain location such as Program files. 

Note: By default config.xml is placed in local user account, and not in write-protected location.
