Microsoft.WindowsAPICodePack.Shell Dependency

Could anyone clarify if Microsoft.WindowsAPICodePack.Shell is dependent on Microsoft Office?

My application is using this library to update .xlsx file metadata (e.g. title property) and I do not have Office installed on that machine.

I get this error:

Microsoft.WindowsAPICodePack.Shell.PropertySystem.PropertySystemException (0x80004005): Unable to get writable property store for this property

If I install Office 13, then it works. So is this library dependent on Office?
