Installing MS Interop library for office

I downloaded the msi pack so I could use MS office (Word, Excel and Access) with Visual Basic Express. I see it in a folder but it is not in my reference library in VB. I even browsed to the folder but could not find and exe file.  How do I get it into my references?

Did you execute the mis file by double clicking it?

From what I read today I think that Visual Studio is what I need to be using. Please give me your feedback and advise on this if you could.
The program will ultimately be all web based requiring a user name and password in order to use application.
Ideally it produces documents specific to one industry. The end result is to have users to be able to print these documents only in PDF format, not allowing them to be able to view Excel, Access and Word working in the background.
From prompts in VB data goes into Excel workbook, creates and updates an Access DB and creates a Word doc for printing.
I hope I explained that clearly. I would just hate to put a lot of time into VB express when I should be using Studio or another product.
Thanks.

Great!!!  Thank you so much.  I will download that this evening.  I am actually creating a map of what I want in the application now so that everything is organized when I begin building the application.  Thank you.
