Excel dll for Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel

Question

We want to use Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel in our web application. Everything works fine on our local machines, but on our test machine we're running into problems. It has neither Visual Studio nor Office installed on it.
We're using .NET framework 2.0 and the server is running on Windows Server 2003 with IIS6.
