Microsoft Excel is not installed; install Microsoft Excel Viewer

When executing BW reports from the GUI, the following error is received. Reports run directly from excel seem to work fine.

"Microsoft Excel is not installed; install Microsoft Excel Viewer"

This error is occuring on machines that were recently upgraded to SAP GUI 7.20 patch 7 and BW 3.5 patch 5. In some cases but not all, running a repair on Excel resolves the issue. However, we do not want to have to run a repair on all machines that will be upgraded. Does anyone no the root cause and an easier solution for this issue?
