1. Get the shared libraries at :sfdownloads:`shared_library/Windows/32bit__stdcall` and :sfdownloads:`shared_library/Windows/64bit`, put the DLLs into a folder of your choice and rename them to `CoolProp_stdcall.dll` and `CoolProp_x64.dll`. Make sure to add that folder to your path. Technically you only need the DLL that matches your system architecture (`CoolProp_stdcall.dll` = 32-bit, `CoolProp_x64.dll` = 64-bit), but it cant hurt to copy both if you dont know which system architecture version you have. The Excel macro will select the correct one and use it.
