The problem is probably related to some of the changes between XP and
W7.  On XP, the desktop runs in session 0, just like the services.  With
UAC since Vista, the desktop runs in session 1, while the services
continue to run in session 0.  Therefore services are not allowed to
connect to the desktop anymore since Vista.  UAC itself, as well as
a feature since Windows 2003 (permissions of LocalSystem) may come into
play here as well.  Are you running cron under the cyg_server account
on W7 (hopefully)?

Two possible solutions come to mind:

- Either there is no solution.  The reason might be that Excel is
  expecting a GUI it can't connect to.

- Or it's about the user token after switching the user context.  I
  assume you're running Excel from cron as some other user account than
  cyg_server.  Please read

  and try
