Does not work when ran with scheduled tasks

[glautrou]

Hi,

When I execute my program with a Windows Scheduled Task the method Open() returns null.

using (var word = new Word.Application())
{ 
    if (!File.Exists(wordFile.FullName)) // => file exists
        throw new FileNotFoundException(wordFile.FullName);

    var document = word.Documents.Open(wordFile.FullName); // => document is null
    if (document == null)
        throw new Exception($"Document null : {wordFile.FullName}"); // => Exception here
}

I my scheduled task running under the administrator account I checked :

• "Execute even if user is not connected"
• "Execute with maximal authorisations"

It only works if the administrator account is logged in, which is not possible to keep on a server, especially after a reboot.
Is it possible to work without active user session?

Thanks for your help.

Note : I am currently using the latest NuGet package : NetOffice.Word 1.7.4.11.

PS: our official and digitally signed package is NetOfficeFw.Word, latest release 1.8. (see #276)

The package you are using is a rogue one and it does not work correctly.
