http://exportToXL.sf.net/Installation

exportToXL is installed by placing its files into a directory and using 'options sasauto=()' to tell SAS to look into that directory to find this macro. In the instructions above, this directory is called 'exroot'. It should not matter what to call this directory, but in v1.00, an error results if this directory is called anything else:

ERROR: The language code chosen for the Excel application, xx, is not supported!

This comes from line 53 of setVariables.sas, which explicitly calls the 'exroot' directory. This bug will be corrected in v1.01, but for now there are two workarounds (either will work):

(1) Always name the source directory 'exroot', as in the installation instructions referenced above.

(2) Delete the %sysfunc condition in line 53 of setVariables.sas.
