Path Does Not Exist Error Excel Services on Windows Server 2008

Windows Server 2008 is out and lot of developers are using the same on Virtual Machines to develop their applications and consequently hit some roadblocks.
 
I am sharing one such issue i faced.
 
When we publish a file in Excel services using Excel in Windows Server 2008 it was not possible on Windows Server 2008 VM , On entering the URL of the path of the document Library  I  got the ‘Path does not exist.  Check Path and try again” error.
 
The solution is to got Manage Server ->Features->Add Features and install the Desktop Experience Feature. Caution: Dont do it on the Production server. It does not need it.
