There was a Domino server happily running on Windows 2008 64-bit and there was a scheduled LS agent too.
Usually that agent, using OLE Automation, created MS Excel worksheets there were temporary saved in the Windows temp folder: suddenly it stopped working! how come?!
It was useless to trap any error message inside the code...No error messages, nothing, and only when running server-side (client-side it was fine).
Before almost getting crazy, the answer to the was found on the IBM forum (thanks Beppe) that send me to the StackOverflow post.
I created the missing folder "Desktop" in the following path:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop
After that, the agent was running as expected.

Speak after me: I will not use OLE on a Domino server, BIG promise.
The better way: Create a Java agent (or on 852: XPage / OSGi plug-in) that uses Apache POI to create/update the Excel document.
No server install of Excel required, runs on all supported server platforms.
I promise Stephan! ;-)
Anyhow I already married Java (my wife is from Surabaya).
Or use xml extension ti create Excel file without Excel, same a text file ;-)
