Notes for Home Installation:
To install these tools on your machine, please right click on the
link to cs1300-setup.msi, and download
the file to your desktop. Then double-click on the file and follow
the installation instructions.
A successful installation will place all the needed files in a
directory that you specify (usually
C:\Program Files\Colorado\cs1300). You will also have a cs1300
icon installed on your desktop. Double click the icon to open a
command window from which you may run any of the cs1300 tools.
The installation is registered in
Windows, so you may later uninstall through the Windows Control Panel
if you need to.
