I don't think this has anything to do with AutoIt, or indeed Watir - the error is about excel, and looks like a WIN32OLE error.
Is Excel actually installed on your automation box? I've seen this error on machines where Excel has not been installed. If that's not the issue, you'll need to include more than the error message - at a bare minimum include the full error class, stacktrace, and message, and the code that raised the error. But if it's not actually anything to do with Watir (and it doesn't look like it is), I don't know that anybody will necessarily be able to help you here.
