The document should then be Attached - Saved - Closed. The business object MS Word Extended VBO is used for it because later on the FindReplaceText action is needed. However, the following message is displayed during the Attach Instance stage:  "Could not execute code stage because exception thrown by code stage: Cannot creat ActiveX component" More info: - Word is only opened once - MS Word VBO gives the same error message - No modifications have been made in the MS Word Extended VBO object - Adding waits gives the same result - The manual process does not give an error message See attached file for the error message. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance!   Tue, 11 Sep 2018 18:47:00 GMT https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/Could-not-execute-code-stage-because-exception-thrown-by-code/m-p/44609#M1034 AmerPloskic 2018-09-11T18:47:00Z https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/Could-not-execute-code-stage-because-exception-thrown-by-code/m-p/44610#M1035 Hi, I am also getting the same error for MS Excel VBO.  Were you able to resolve it?   Please share the solution if you were able to resolve.   Thanks Wed, 24 Oct 2018 15:29:00 GMT https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/Could-not-execute-code-stage-because-exception-thrown-by-code/m-p/44610#M1035 VisheshSethiya 2018-10-24T15:29:00Z https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/Could-not-execute-code-stage-because-exception-thrown-by-code/m-p/44611#M1036 Hi, Just to make sure - MSWord installed on robot pc/vm (where process fails)?

It recently updated to Office365 (it was mostly fine at this point, only objects using ACE were having issues but I redirected the work towards MSSQL and it was fine) and this weekend, another update installed ""Microsoft Office SPW 2010 uninstall 1.1"".
