I have successfully created Excel file programmatically by referencing
the Excel tlbs. Now when I deploy it our server I get the "COM object
with CLSID {00024500-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} is either not valid or
not registered" error.

So looks like it is expecting the Excel suite to be deployed on our
server. Do I really have to do that? Is there a simpler way than that?
bcoz I am sure we will not be able to install office suite on our servers.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
sp

Yes, you need to install Excel, how would you think to use Excel
functionality without ever installing it?
Also note that MSFT doesn't support Office for automation in a server
context.
