SETUP and chose REINSTALL. After install is
finished EXCEL CBT will be installed and ready to run

EXCEL5.INI file in the WINOS2 or Windows directory so
that it references where the CBT files are stored
(X:\EXCEL\EXCELCBT). If this line is not included in
EXCEL5.INI you will receive the message:
"The path in your EXCEL5.INI file does not include
the directory that contains the CBT files. Edit
the EXCEL5.INI file by typing the path of the CBT
directory on the CBTLOCATION=line under
