To install Excel Viewer, please follow these instructions:

1.  Installation of Excel Viewer is designed to take place from within
    Microsoft Windows. If Windows is not running, please start it
    before continuing.

2.  Make sure to close all applications first and make sure you are
    not running any utilities or virus protection before proceeding.

3.  If you have the Excel Viewer self-extracting archive EXCELVWR.EXE, run it
    to extract the setup files and automatically start Setup.
    If you received Excel Viewer on floppy disks, run the SETUP.EXE program on 
    Disk 1.

4.  Excel Viewer Setup will prompt you for a folder in which to install
    the Excel Viewer. The default folder location for the Excel Viewer is
    C:\PROGRAM FILES\XLVIEW.

5.  Click the "Installation" button to install the Excel Viewer.

6.  If Excel Viewer Setup detects Excel for Windows (version 5.0 or later)
    on your system, it will prompt you to determine which application
    should open Excel documents by default. For example, the 'default'
    application is used to open files with *.XLS, *.XLT, *.XLM, or *.XLC 
    file extensions when they are double-clicked in the Windows 95 shell.

    - Choosing "Open with Excel" means that Excel for Windows will be used
      by default to open Excel files.

    - Choosing "Open with Viewer" means that Excel Viewer will be used by
      default to open Excel files. NOTE: If you choose this option, you
      must run the Excel for Windows Setup program to restore Excel for
      Windows as the default viewer of Excel documents. 

7.  To run Excel Viewer, click the Start button on the Windows 95 Taskbar
    and then point to Programs and choose Microsoft Excel Viewer.
    Alternatively, you can run Excel Viewer by double-clicking on the XLVIEW.EXE
    file in your \PROGRAM FILES\XLVIEW folder.
