Error when Running an Excel Macro from a Windows Service Application - excel

I have created a Windows Service Application that does many things but a part of it is producing an error. My service runs a PowerShell script that opens an Excel document (I know Microsoft does not support this, but opening the Excel doc is actually not whats giving me an issue). I get the error below when I try to run a macro on it and I have no idea how to fix it.
Exception calling "Run" with "1" argument(s): "'C:\WINDOWS\system32\PERSONAL.XLSB' could not be found.
Check the spelling of the file name, and verify that the file location is correct.
If you are trying to open the file from your list of most recently used files,
make sure that the file has not been renamed, moved, or deleted."
At line:54 char:1
+ $excel.Run("PERSONAL.XLSB!MacroForSoftwareFeatureLicensesXLS")
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have applied other solutions already like adding a 'Desktop' folder to C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile and C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile. This worked for allowing me to open the excel doc.
I have tried putting the PERSONAL.XLSB file in the C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder but this does nothing. Similarly, I also tried putting the PERSONAL.XLSB file in C:\WINDOWS\sysWOW64 but this completely halts my service.
My PowerShell script is the following:
$myLocalXLS = "C:\Users\aUser\Desktop\aFolder\myLocalXLS.xls"
$excel = New-Object -ComObject excel.application
$excel.DisplayAlerts = $FALSE
$myXLSWorkbook = $excel.Workbooks.Open($mylocalXLS)
$excel.Run("PERSONAL.XLSB!MacroForMyLocalXLS")
$myXLSWorkbook.Save()
$excel.DisplayAlerts = $TRUE
$excel.Quit()

I think you actually have to open the PERSONAL.XLSB manually, e.g. something like this worked for me:
$myLocalXLS = "C:\Users\aUser\Desktop\aFolder\myLocalXLS.xls"
$myPersonalXLSB = "C:\Users\aUser\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART\PERSONAL.XLSB"
$excel = New-Object -ComObject excel.application
$excel.DisplayAlerts = $FALSE
$myXLSWorkbook = $excel.Workbooks.Open($mylocalXLS)
$myPersonalWorkbook = $excel.Workbooks.Open($myPersonalXLSB)
$excel.Run("PERSONAL.XLSB!MacroForMyLocalXLS")

Are there any known limitations with Windows Forms button scriptblocks?

I would like to build a Windows Forms application that uses the MicrosoftTeams module in the background and performs bulk actions.
To start with, a connection to Azure must always be established. For this I want to use the integrated Windows authentication.
For example, in the PowerShell Console I simply execute the following line to establish a connection:
Connect-MicrosoftTeams -AccountId ' user#contoso.com'
Now I wanted to execute this scriptsnipped when a button is clicked.
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.DImport-Module -Name MicrosoftTeams
$window = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form
$window.Width = 200
$window.Height = 200
$windowButton = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button
$windowButton.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(10,10)
$windowButton.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(100,50)
$windowButton.Text = "connect teams"
$windowButton.Add_Click({
write-host 'connecting'
Connect-MicrosoftTeams -AccountId 'user#contoso.com'
Write-Host 'connected'
})
$window.Controls.Add($windowButton)
[void]$window.ShowDialog()
However, the command cannot be executed correctly. PowerShell simply hangs on the command. There is no error message and no timeout.
Do you have any idea what the problem could be? Are these limitations of Windows Forms and if so, how can I work around them?
Edit:
I think my question was not formulated precisely enough. But it is very difficult for me to describe the problem. So I will share some additional codes/logs in hope that this will avoid misunderstanding.
If I change the authentication method from this:
Connect-MicrosoftTeams -AccountId 'user#contoso.com'
to this
Connect-MicrosoftTeams -Credential (Get-Credential)
the code works fine (also in the script block for the Windows form event button). Unfortunately, the user is then prompted to enter their username and password. I would like to avoid this at all costs.
So my guess is that the code inside the Windows Forms Button Event script block is not accessing the integrated Windows authentication.
To investigate the issue, I enabled the event logging feature for this cmdlet.
First, the log of the stuck cmdlet (within a Windows Forms Button Event script block).

So now my more specific question is: Is this phenomenon known to anyone or is this a known limitation of Windows Forms? Or is there a way to work around this problem?
You can create a function, of course, locate that at the top of your code, and call that in the click event as well.

Blazor WebAssembly Application fails to load due to integrity errors

We have developed a Blazor WebAssembly Application that has already gone into productive usage for a certain group of customers.
The Application works well in all Browsers with Standard Security settings. However, this morning I got a call from one of the customers, where the Application did not load at all in their Chrome Browser.
I saw the following Errors in the console:
Unknown error occurred while trying to verify integrity.
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (forbidden)
Failed to find a valid digest in the 'integrity' attribute for ressource '<somepath.dll>' with SHA-256 integrity <sha56>. the resource has been blocked
Now my question is, what could cause this? Is this a Browser Security setting, or another security setting e.g on server, in code etc.? How can I fix this?
Here's a picture of the errors mentioned above
The most likely reason why this is happening, is that some Antiviruses block the execution of downloaded .dll files. That's why it is working in some networks, but doesn't in some others.
What you can do, and what is also suggested as a Workaround by microsoft, is to rename all .dll to .bin - and also change the config json. it worked in my case.
I use the following PowerShell function for that:
Function Hide-BlazorDLL {
Param(
[string]$Path = (Get-Location).Path
)
<#
According to the following Links:

# Test if path is correct and accessible
$WorkingDir = Join-Path $Path "_framework"
if (!(Test-Path $WorkingDir)) { Throw "Wrong path $Path. current location must be wwwroot folder of published application." }
# Get All Items
$AllItems = Get-ChildItem $WorkingDir -Recurse
$DLLs = $AllItems | Where-Object { $_.Name -like '*.dll*' }
$BINs = $AllItems | Where-Object { $_.Name -like '*.bin*' }
# End script if no .dll are found
if ($DLLs) {
# Delete all current .bin files

Remove-Item "$WorkingDir\blazor.boot.json.gz"
}
if (Test-Path "$WorkingDir\blazor.boot.json.br") {
Remove-Item "$WorkingDir\blazor.boot.json.br"
}
# Do the same for ServiceWorker, if it exists
$ServiceWorker = Get-Item "$Path\service-worker-assets.js" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
if ($ServiceWorker) {
((Get-Content $ServiceWorker.FullName -Raw) -replace '.dll"','.bin"') | Set-Content $ServiceWorker.FullName
Remove-Item ($ServiceWorker.FullName + ".gz")
Remove-Item ($ServiceWorker.FullName + ".br")
}
}
else {
Write-Host "There are no .dll Files to rename to .bin"
}
}
Basically you need to navigate to the wwwroot folder of your published application and run the function there. e.g:
PS D:\inetpub\wwwroot\<appname>\wwwroot> Hide-BlazorDLL
Solution for me was to delete the obj and the bin folder in both the client and the server project folder
This error for some reason kept happening for me when I tested my application in an anonymous browser window (Google Chrome).
Try using a normal browser window if you're getting integrity errors.
Also, if you're using Cloudflare CDN don't forget to "Purge Everything" in the cache.
We have experienced this issue using Cloudflare auto minify feature. That feature removes any comments from html, js and other files - which some of the blazor .js files seems to contain.
This means that the hash of the file contents no longer matches the hash found in blazor.boot.json -> an integrity issue will be thrown and stop the app from loading.
Disabling the auto minify feature fixed the issue.
Tech Stack:
.NET 6.0.11
I had a similar issue. In the local machine, it is working fine. But when it is deployed through GitHub Actions, I get integrity checks error. I got this issue for Blazor WebAssembly ASP.NET Core Hosted (WebAssemblyPrerendered) project. Here is the fix I followed.
Added the .gitattributes file to the solution root folder.
Added the below code at the end of the file.
# blazor dlls - treat all .dll files as binary
*.dll binary

Refresh Excel dataset in SharePoint Online with PowerShell 403 error

I have been attempting to implement a PowerShell script that will access an Excel workbook, check it out, refresh the dataset in the workbook and finally check it back in again.
I've combined this with a task in Windows Task Scheduler to run the script daily from a server with a user account that has access to the SharePoint Online site.
My issue is that the script will not run. When I view the Windows Event logs I can see it is getting a 403 error
The script was taken from the document found here document:
Link to download document
The the task gets the following script and the location of the Excel Workbook from arguments in the action config of the task (detailed in the document above)
try
{
# Creating the excel COM Object
$xl = New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application;
# Setting up Excel to run without UI and without alerts
$xl.DisplayAlerts = $false;
$xl.Visible = $false;
}
Catch
{
Write-EventLog -EventId "5001" -LogName "Application" -Message "Failed to start Excel" -Source "Application"
Exit
}
foreach ($i in $args)
{
write-host "handling $i"
try
{
# Allow update only if we can perform check out
If ($xl.workbooks.CanCheckOut($i))
{
# Opening the workbook, can be local path or SharePoint URL
$wb = $xl.workbooks.open($i);
# Perform the check out
$xl.workbooks.checkout($i)
# Calling the refresh
$wb.RefreshAll();
# Saving and closing the workbook
$wb.CheckInWithVersion();
# in case you are not using checkout/checkin perform a save and close
#$wb.Save();
#$wb.Close();
#Release Workbook

}
}

Am I missing something here?
Thanks in advance and please let me know if more info is required.
EDIT: The script works if run manually from cmd with the correct arguments. Problem seems to be that Task Scheduler cannot access PowerShell.
So I got this working finally. Issue was that it wasn't running the script when the option 'User logged on or not' in the general settings of the task was selected. Worked fine when 'User logged on' was selected.
Here are the steps I had to take to get this to run properly.
First the script needed to run from the System32 folder (also specify that directory in the tasks "Start In" box. Also make sure that you are pointing to the 32-bit version of PowerShell since Excel won't work with 64-bit
And second, turns out there is a bug with Excel where you have to create a folder called “Desktop” in the \SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\ and \System32\config\systemprofile\ directories(both folders need to be created if running Excel 64-bit).
This is the final argument string I ended up using: C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Powershell.exe -nologo –noprofile -noninteractive -executionpolicy bypass path\to\script 'path\to\excelworkbook'

New-Object: Cannot find type [System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2("C:\mycert.cer")]: make sure the assembly containing this type is loaded.
At line:1 char:19
+ $cert = New-Object <<<<
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidType: (:) [New-Object], PSArgumentException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : TypeNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.NewObjectCommand**
What am i doing wrong?
Try running this to see if you have the System.dll loaded (should be by default):
[AppDomain]::CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies() |
Where {$_.Location -match '\\System\\'}
If it is loaded then this command should show the X509Certificate2 type:
[AppDomain]::CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies() |
Where {$_.Location -match '\\System\\'} |
%{$_.GetExportedTypes()} | Where {$_.Name -match 'X509Cert'}
If the System.dll isn't loaded (which would be odd) try loading it:
Add-Type -AssemblyName System
See: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh849914.aspx
FYI ... I got error:
Unable to find type [System.Security.Cryptography.x509Certificates.X509Certificate2UI]
when using:
$certSelect = [System.Security.Cryptography.x509Certificates.X509Certificate2UI]::SelectFromCollection($certCollection, $title, $msg, 0)
However, I had no error creating the collection earlier on in my script:
$certCollection = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2Collection
To make the error go away I had to include the following at some point earlier on:
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Security
I've solved my problem. It's easily:
cd\
$cert=New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2("C:\mycert.cer")
cd\ is necessary
I ran into this in the ISE (but seems to apply to the normal command window too) and it seems that using autocomplete will automatically Add-Type for whatever you're looking for. If you start a new instance and run:
[AppDomain]::CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies() | grep Security
it will not return System.Security, but if you then type this and let intellisense do its thing:
[System.
You can then run this again:
[AppDomain]::CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies() | grep Security
And it will then return System.Security. So this is why you can write a script that works fine, and then revisit it later and it's broken. Using intellisense doesn't fix your script though, instead you have to add this line:
Add-Type System.Security
Or whatever library is not getting auto-added (it seems to need the dll filename, e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.6.1\System.Security.dll).
I'm pretty sure IseSteroids (a paid ISE add-in) can detect this, maybe others as well.
