Automation - Excel

I have a vb.net app that reads data from Access and places
it into Excel. This was done utilizing Office XP. The
user is testing on their machine, which only has Office
97. The app bombs when trying to create the excel object,
i.e., CreateObject(Excel.Application).

I have a reference to Excel 10 in the vb.net app.
However, I cannot find an Excel 8 (exe, dll, etc.) in
which to add that as a reference instead.

How do I make the vb.net app reference the Excel 97
object? I tried running regsvr32 excel9.olb on my
development machine, but it states an error indicating it
couldn't find an entry point.

Thanks for any help.
