Not 100% sure, but can you check:

The user has permissions on the folder where the excel is uploaded.
If you are using OleDBCommand, and the file name is invalid then too you might get same error.

// User was neither granted nor denied read access.
// Pass the callback method the integer
/// value of E_FAIL.
hr = unchecked((int)0x80004005);

This is how the implementation of return value usually goes. The comment may point you the possible problem.

Only Temporary solution:- 1) If you try to upload same file name multiple times this problem will raise. So try to upload distinct file name every time.
