Hi @devilgim88,

It looks like you had chosen a wrong executable file /=). In Windows, the executable file is the file with extension ".exe". In my environment, the path to the WinWord, Excel or Outlook is something like below.

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\WINWORD.EXE
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\EXCEL.EXE
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\OUTLOOK.EXE
