I have a C# Web API and Web Application that is an all-in-one program. This project is going to be hosted on my company's intranet. I'm attempting to setup a mail merge process within this Web API using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word. It works just fine when debugging. The mail merge template file is hosted at C:inetpubwwwrootMailMergeTemplateTemplate.docx.
However, this stops working as soon as I deploy the website to IIS. Every time I attempt to run the merge I'm met with a HTTP 500 Internal Server Error. I tried to move the template to a mapped network drive but that didn't work. I also made a different web directory for the template via IIS and put the file in there. I could browse to the folder via Chrome just fine and could see and download the template. But this didn't work either.
How should I host a mail merge template so the Web Application can see it and access it? Is this even possible?

This is not a good idea - from Considerations for server-side Automation of Office "Microsoft does not currently recommend, and does not support, Automation of Microsoft Office applications from any unattended, non-interactive client application or component (including ASP, ASP.NET, DCOM, and NT Services), because Office may exhibit unstable behavior and/or deadlock when Office is run in this environment."

Even if it's just a web application that maybe 5 people are going to use? What's the best way to perform a mail merge then? Not using a web application?

Well, they don't say you can't do it, just that it might not be reliable.. A 500 error means your app is throwing an exception, setting up an unhandled exception handler should enable you to see what's going wrong.
