Also Microsoft recommends the 32bit version of Excel - because of compatibility issues. See http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/excel-help/choose-the-32-bit-or-64-bit-version-of-office-HA010369476.aspx
Perhaps you need a different primary interop assembly generated from the 64 bit version. And adjust variable types etc....
