Trying to create Excel spreadsheets (programmatically) on a Windows 2008 64-bit server with Office 2007 installed.

Error: Can't create objects

I have the same code working on another Windows 2008 server running Office 2003.

Most likely a DLL that is required to create whatever object it is attempting to instatiate is not properly registered with the system.  Without knowing what it is trying to create, I can't speculate what DLL is the issue.
