Installed Office Small Business Edition 2003 on Windows Server 2008 R2 and get error saying "This feature is not available" when I try to open apps

I work for a company that uses Macs primarily. We have a Windows server that we connect to remotely to use one client's system that requires Internet Explorer 6. Someone is trying to export a spreadsheet from that site to excel but we don't have excel installed on this machine.

I found a copy of Office Small Business Edition 2003 that we no longer use and installed it but every time I try opening Excel (or Word or Powerpoint) I get an error saying "This feature is not available. For more information, please contact your system administrator". I tried running a repair install and rebooting but I get the same error.

I understand it is not advised to use such an old version of office but all we need to do is get this information exported to excel so it doesn't really make sense to spend money on this if there's a way to make it work as-is.

Thanks for any help you can offer!
