Running on Windows 10
I have a C# program that (among other things) opens, modifies, and writes a Word document (docx, not doc).
It works fine from the command line.
But run in Jenkins, the Documents.Open() call returns null

I have read the following on StackOverflow:
Unable to open word document from jenkins
open word doc with c#
Interop.Word Documents.Open is null

I have added C:WindowsSystem32configsystemfileDesktop and C:WindowsSysWOW64configsystemfileDesktop
Result: program hangs on Documents.Open (System32 didn't change anything; SysWOW64 resulted in the hang)

using Word = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;

// … lots of stuff

var wordApplication = new Word.Application();

wordApplication.Visible = false;
Word.Application wordApp = null;
if (wordApplication != null)
 wordApp = wordApplication as Word.Application;
Word.Document wordDoc = null;
if (wordApp != null)
 if(!IsFileinUse(reportPath))
 
 // this line is the problem.
 // It works from the command line
 // In Jenkins, it either returns null or hangs
 wordDoc = wordApp.Documents.Open(reportPath.FullName);
 

I expect it to behave in Jenkins as it does from Command Prompt: open the file successfully and allow the operations -- not hang or return null.

  Why are you using office interop and not OpenXML? Office interop is not supported for servier side applications like jenkins.

  You cannot run interactive applications as BACKGROUND process. Maybe if you suprime the open step, your program could be work
