ASP.NET page unable to instanciate an Excel application object

[Guest]

Using VB.NET, I attempt to instanciate an Excel application object with the statement:
Dim oExcelAppl As Excel.Application = New Excel.Applicatio
I receive a runtime error with the message "Access is denied.
Does anyone have a work-around ?

I would guess it is a privilege issue ... ASPNet is a very low privilege
user ... try impersonating a regular user, or use integrated security and
impersonate current user ...

As a test, I made user ASP.NET a member of the Administrator group, the error still occurs.
