Visual studio 2013 - not have reference for creating excel file.

Question

I want to create Excel file. I am using visual studio 2013. All code example suggest to use Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel \Microsoft Excel XX.X Object Library. But I dont see any dll like those in COM tab ( add reference -> COM tab).

What is the reason? How can I add the reference? is there another way to create .XLS and write to it?

Thank you in advance
