SSIS Run Excel Macro Error

excelpermissionsssis

I have an SSIS package that populates an Excel file. The package is run from a SQL Server Agent job.

It all runs fine, but now I have added a Macro to the Excel file. This macro causes the Package to fail when it is run.
Are there any permissions I need to add to allow the SQL Agent account to run the macro?

This is the error:

Description: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. —>
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly
'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' or one of its dependencies. The
system cannot find the file specified.

After installing Excel, the error is as follows:

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. at
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbooks.Open(String Filename, Object
