As I understand, COM functions can only be use with Windows ver. And, there is no installation needed. but refering to the statement at http://php.bieffe.org/manual/en/ref.com.php
"You are responsible for installing support for the various COM objects that you intend to use (such as MS Word); we don't and can't bundle all of those with PHP."

Does I need to install MS Excel if i need to make some calculation on Excel? Any alternative beside installing the MS Excel, for example ExcelExplorer?

That's it, if you want to use the Excel COM server, you need to have Excel installed.
