Hello Jerry,
Thanks for using Microsoft Newsgroup Support Service, my name is Ji Zhou
[MSFT] and I will be working on this issue with you.
As Mark already pointed, the Server Side Office Automation is not
recommended and supported from Microsoft because Office application is not
designed for such an objective. You can get the detailed information from
the KB article Mark posted.
As to this issue itself, technically speaking, we receive this error
because the Excel application can only be activated under the following
accounts,
*Administrator
*System
*Interactive
But in the Windows Server 2008 and IIS7, the ASP.NET work process w3wp.exe
runs under the NETWORK SERVICE account. So, you need to configure this
account in the Component Services MMC. You can get a detailed steps in the
following article. Note that we should add the NETWORK SERVICE account
instead of the ASPNET.

With the configuration in the above link, it works on my side. Please let
me know if this works for your not?
Have a nice day!
Best regards,
Ji Zhou (v-****@online.microsoft.com, remove 'online.')

Note: The MSDN Managed Newsgroup support offering is for non-urgent issues
where an initial response from the community or a Microsoft Support
Engineer within 1 business day is acceptable. Please note that each follow
up response may take approximately 2 business days as the support
professional working with you may need further investigation to reach the
most efficient resolution. The offering is not appropriate for situations
that require urgent, real-time or phone-based interactions or complex
project analysis and dump analysis issues. Issues of this nature are best
handled working with a dedicated Microsoft Support Engineer by contacting
