What library for creating Excel spreadsheets using VB6 without having Excel installed could I use to solve this?
If you are using COM Interop to create Excel spreadsheets you must have Excel installed on the machine.
You could create comma delimited .csv files instead.
CSV is easy as suggested in the other answer. Sometimes folk use HTML too.
Create Excel (.XLS and .XLSX) file from C#
Or even ADO and OLEDB

I'm trying to read contents from CSV files in UiPath. While trying to execute the workflow I'm getting the following error. But I've already installed the libre office on my PC.
UiPath can read excel or csv files without the help of any other software. You can use 'read csv' activity for this case.
And the error that you showed looks user defined.
Is there a way to use Ruby to delete columns in an Excel spreadsheet by name (i.e. the value in the first row of the spreadsheet) on a Windows machine?
Background if you want it:
I am going to be receiving a large number of Excel spreadsheets on a regular basis. Some of these spreadsheets will contain columns that need to be deleted. I will know the names (first-row values) of the columns, but their positions in their respective spreadsheets will change from time to time, so I won't be able to automatically refer to the columns by letter. I would really like to be able to automate this process...
POI is the Apache project to create a library for reading MS Office files; it appears they have Ruby extensions. I have never used it before, but the code looks easy enough to understand. Good luck! Check it out here
You probably want to use the WIN32OLE library, built into the standard library on Windows. There's an example in PickAxe about using Microsoft Excel through the WIN32OLE library, and other examples here. You just need to learn how to use the Excel COM API to make the particular changes you're interested in.
I am looking for a procedure where i can convert the excel to csv either if there some shell script , if so please guide me or if possbile how can i do in jython.

To convert between various file formats I use: PyODConverter. There is Python and Java version.
It uses OpenOffice working as a service and can convert between various document formats including MS Office, PDF and text.
There is also pure Python library: xlrd Library for developers to extract data from Microsoft Excel (tm) spreadsheet files

Am looking and testing all the source control solutions to use with Oracle Forms/Reports builders. but, none of the existing solutions works well with Oracle products. Any one out there did a similar practice? and how do you control the source codes of Oracle Forms/Reports?
What we used to do (I no longer work with Forms or Reports) is convert the forms and reports to text files (.fmt files for Forms, I forget the file extension for Reports) and put those text files into the version control system (which was PVCS).
In Forms 11g developer one option is available to create .txt file of the form source. We are doing baseline in SVN this .txt file.
