C# Excel not creating an instance when run outside of debug mode. (IIS instance)

Sorry for the poorly worded title. I have an application that will take in an excel file, make some changes, format the data as a dataset and export to excel in C#. when I run either in debug mode (F5) or with ctrl + F5 it has no problem running. The excel sheet is created, filled, and saved to the proper location. when I set up in instance in IIS to test it outside of this method to simulate a user (same machine, browser, etc), it cannot create the excel application. It does not throw an error, it just simply never creates, fills, or moves to location and then says everything worked. I believe the problem (to the best of my knowledge) is with the code here

 Excel.Application excelApp = new Excel.Application();
 excelApp.Visible = true;

To clarify, my excel import at the top is

 using Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel;

This problem is hard to understand without an error output. The best information I can provide is what is provided in event viewer.

In the System View I get an error of

 The server {00024500-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.

And in the Application Viewer I get an error of

Let me know if anymore information is needed or if anything was unclear

Try without using interop, and using dynamic variable instead:

Type excelType = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("Excel.Application");
dynamic excelApp = Activator.CreateInstance(excelType);
excelApp.Visible = true;
