  COSMIC 2 is a Microsoft .NET Package.  COSMIC 2 will not install unless the new  .Net Framework 1.1 Redistributable Package is present on your computer. These runtime components require  Internet Explorer 5.1 or later.  This cdrom disk contains: (1) the COSMIC 2 installation package and (2) the Dotnetfx.exe package.

                2. Double click the Add or Remove Programs Icon in the Control Panel
