Using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word in asp.net

Question

I am trying to use Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word dll in my asp.net application. In short, the internal web-based document management / editing system requires access to the MS Word flesch-kincaid value on a one-time basis. I have no problem using this DLL in a console application, but I cannot get rights to it when accessing via asp.net.

Retrieving the factory COM class for a component with CLSID {000209FF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} failed due to the following error: 80070005 Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED)).

I tried everything in this forum thread with no luck. I use .Net 4.0 on Win7, I tried both 32 and 64-bit versions of MS Word. I also expect more headaches after deployment to our server running Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard
