Macro CodeMacro Errorif I run the macro manually in my own machine or VDI, it is able to work.

 

If I run the Macro in UnattendedMode, It Fails

 

Below are the screenshots of which action it always failed at -".Shapes.PasteSpecial (ppPasteEnhancedMetafile)" line with runtime error:

Shapes (unknown member) : Invalid request. The specified data type is unavailable.

It can fail at any slide it is pasting to (all pasting from Excel PPT is done by this line of action).
