Word Documents.Open returns null in ASP.NET windows server 2012 R2

I have a web application that initial some information into word file (using text form).

when visual studio run it, its work currently but when I publish it and run in IIS, intrupt.word return null in open document .

I find some solution but that's not work for windows server 2012 R2 some solution like change the launching user to the interactive user or create "Desktop" directory in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile path or C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile path all of this solution work very well for windows server 2008 and older but don't work for windows server 2012 R2

I find my own solution

In first I used interrupt for working with word while it's not good for web (unlike win App) application after searching I fined Aspose that have complete method for working with Word and it's compatible with web application.

Use an XML library (like ClosedXml) instead of Word Interop.

The most likely reason why it doesn't work via IIS is because Server-side automation of Office is not supported as per https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/257757
