To install Excel Viewer, please follow these instructions:

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
