Solution 1

You're trying to do Interop with Excel. This is NOT supported in a web application as Excel doesn't really support multiple requests at the same time.

Read this[^] to find out why.

To get that code working you'll need Excel installed and launchable from your web code. This is hard to get working, and not supported by Microsoft and won't really work anyway. You can try something like the Open XML SDK to read Excel documents, or the Excel ODBC driver, or Aspose etc.
