In order to use the relevant object libraries you'll have to make sure that Office (Excel in your case) is installed on your client machine. If you have the option I'd suggest to switch to the Open Office XML format anyways. I recently had a similar problem with MS Word and the +work to switch to the new format has def. payed of.

Check MS Open XML SDK

Performace++ and not depending on Office installed...

The Office COM objects depend on Office. You should either arrange for Office to be installed on the other systems, or use a component for reading Excel files that doesn't need Excel installed, such as the ODBC Excel driver or a third-party Excel file reader.
