an error occurs from the COM object itself

Source: Microsoft Word Description: This command is not available because no document is open. no file

I try to open like this:

$new_file3 = 'd:/EDO/tmp/1.doc'; $new_file4 = '../tmp/1.doc'; $error=''; $word = new COM("word.application") or $error.="Невозможно создать COM объект/n"; $word->visible = 0; echo 'file_exist = '.file_exists($new_file4); $word->Documents->Open($new_file4) or $error.='нет файла';

The folder (and the file too) has full rights for all and for the IIS_IUSRS group.

yes, I am using php 5.6 on IIS 7.5 windows web server 2008 R2

UAC disabled in Windows What is most interesting, PHP sees the file in both variants ($ new_file3 and $ new_file4), but the word does not

Tell me what you can do. thank

    The problem was in DCOM, more precisely in its registration. Description here: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/the_microsoft_excel_support_team_blog/2012/11/12/microsoft-excel-or-microsoft-word-does-not-appear-in-dcom-configuration-snap-in/
