Some library to run a powershell script that uses Excel COM classes without Office installed?

Is there some microsoft libary that installs the COM classes needed without actually installing O365 on a server to just run a powershell program? When we try to run on a workstation with O365, no problem but if we run on a server without O365 installed we get this sort of error:

New-Object : Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000} failed due to the following error: 80040154 Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG)).
+ $excel = New-Object -ComObject excel.application
    + CategoryInfo          : ResourceUnavailable: (:) [New-Object], COMException

As far as I know the Excel Object Model (EOM) is only installed with Excel. I don't know of a way to get the model installed otherwise. However, ImportExcel a PowerShell module from MVP Doug Fink can work with Excel workbooks without Excel installed. I use it all the time, and would argue it's easier too.

See this Scripting Guys article with techniques using ADO (COM) & ADO.Net to access Excel data.

I also double checked if Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO) and/or MS Office Primary Interop Assemblies could be used for this. However, these assemblies appear to act as an interface between managed code and the COM objects (EOM).
