Apparently it is a common problem with Automation Anywhere, in this link you can see some possible causes and solutions. A solution that works well is to change the package used, but reinstalling office also helps.

Could you please refer to KB Article: https://apeople.automationanywhere.com/s/article/Error-message-An-unknown-error-occurred-when-executing-the-OpenExceI-command

 

 

 

Solution: Re install office 365 in your machine and reboot your system.
