Hello, <br/> <br/> I need to work on a script that will process some excel files. The machine I am using to develop the script on does not have excel installed.... will installing the latest version of the Excel Viewer install the necessary components? Or is the only way to install the full blown excel app?© 2009 Microsoft Corporation.
