COM Exception in Application - comexception

Question

I'm trying to upgrade an internal application, the infrastructure will be moving from 2008 to windows server 2012. The application builds presentations from model templates.
I keep getting the attached COM Exception which looks to be associated with Interops, has anyone come across something similar.
PowerPages (Office 14.0)
Document: Model.ppt
Command: {SET PrevPeriodEnd user.PreviousPeriodEnd(PGFromDate)}
Error:
~~ Call Stack Pages 6.9.1 (Build 021)~~

Answer 1

Two (obvious) possibilities:
Is word installed? Looks like whatever is calling powerpoint is also calling word.
Is your app running as a 32 bit app? 2008 can be run as a 32 bit OS but 2012R2 is 64 bit and you may need to mark everything as 32 bit. (I think you can use CorFlag.exe to force this)

Answer 2

Thanks, I think I've resolved, the macro called template was in an out of date version of office (.dot and required .dotm.)
