Can an Office Add-in run without Edge/IE installed?

We have a client that wants to run our Excel Add-in (web-based Office Add-in written with office-js), however, they don't have Edge or IE installed.
They are running Version 2008 (Build 13127.21766) of Excel, which according to the documentation from Microsoft uses the EdgeHTML WebView (Edge Legacy)
I know with the WebView2 runtimes you can install the runtime separately since Windows 8.1 and 10 didn't come with that runtime.
Can the same process be followed for the EdgeHTML WebView (Edge Legacy), as in can we install an EdgeHTML WebView runtime while not having Edge installed?
If so can someone point me in the right direction on where to get this runtime from?
The only way to get the EdgeHTML webview installed is to install Edge.
Are you sure the client is on a Windows version? According to my knowledge, Excel 2008 which belongs to Office 2008 is only for Mac. You can refer to this doc and this page.
According to the doc you mentioned, they can use Safari for Office Add-ins on Mac.

Why is Microsoft Office Automation only available on Windows?

I'm building a Xojo desktop app and I'm trying to figure out if I can include a Word doc on my Xojo Window. However, I'm reading the documentation about Microsoft Office Automation and it seems like the plugins are only available for Windows. I'm using a mac, is there any way I could still use these features on my mac?
It is not possible to automate MS Word on Macintosh via Xojo because Microsoft removed VBA from the Mac editions a number of (Word) versions ago (circa 2011).
You might be able to automate Word on the Mac via AppleScripts.

Installing Delphi 2005 TChart

I'm running the 2005 version of delphi, which is all we are allowed to use for our school projects (so I can't update to a more recent version of delphi)
What I'm trying to do is install the TChart component into my delphi so that I can add the component to my VCL Form however can't seem to find the download link for the source code to install it via a package inside of delphi.
Could you possibly help me get TChart installed onto my delphi 2005 version? If its even possible..
Thanks
As the previous comments indicate, TeeChart Standard should be included in Delphi 2005 installation, as with all RAD Studio versions.
If you want to use this version but you can't find the TChart component in the palette, search for the dcltee*.bpl in the bin folder in the IDE installation and try to install it through the Components list in the IDE.
If you want to use a different version (a Pro version or a SourceCode version), please contact the sales department at sales#steema.com. Note Steema Software offers a 50% discount for Academic & Non-profit Organizations: http://www.steema.com/licensing/subscription

How can I get Microsoft Document Explorer, which is missing from my Delphi installation?

I installed my Delphi 2005 Personal but after running the IDE it gives me AV and some help bpl file error. I came to a conslusion that this occurs because somehow I don't have installed Microsoft Document Explorer.
Then my question is: where can I download Microsoft Document Explorer? I can't find any links myself. I think it comes with Visual Studio but I don't want to install it only to have a help system in Delphi.
Update
When installing Delphi I did a certain trick to not install .NET 1.0 stuff and I did wrong. There was the Microsoft Document Explorer in one of these packages. Just had to install the .NET SDK.

Afaik it is part of MSDN, but that is an huge download:

The Embarcadero FTP server might also be a smart location to check.
I found same problem when trying to install devExpress component for Delphi 2010. Problem was solved when reinstalling the help build.

What is the best way to embed Firebird Installation in the Installer for my app?

My app has its own installer but I have to guide my users to install Firebird on their own.
I'd like to install it automatically.
Thanks.
You can download Firebird source code. It contains InnoSetup script that actually installs firebird on windows targets. You can then modify it to suit your needs.
As a side advice, maybe you should consider Inno Setup yourself.
InterBase and hence Firebird provide an API you can use in your installer script to automate installation.
See documentation for this API in the document "InterBase 5.5 Embedded Installation Guide" http://dn.codegear.com/article/26386
The InterBase Express (IBX) components provide a Delphi binding for the installation API. This is documented in the InterBase 6.0 "Developer's Guide".
#mghie and #TOndrej have made comments about my mistake. I was the Product Manager for InterBase once upon a time, when InterBase did provide an installation API. But this answer is outdated, by literally ten years now.
Here's another resource which is more up to date:
Unofficial Firebird Installation page
This has step-by-step instructions for creating your own Inno Setup installer for Firebird, to accompany your own application installer. No doubt you could use a different installer technology for your application, and simply call the Inno Setup installer as an external program from your installer. But it would probably be more seamless if you also use the Inno Setup for your own product.
If you don't need standalone Firebird server, you could also just include required files in your setup and use Firebird as a embedded SQL server.
See http://www.firebirdsql.org/manual/ufb-cs-embedded.html
Create a bootstrapper, for your product and the prerequisites that your product needs.
Other products might be a good model to follow. For example, Pidgin relies on a specific version of GTK and guides you through running the GTK installer. Being open source, one option would be to look through the source for their NSIS installer package to see how they're doing it.
